As Spitzer Prostitution Scandal Dominates Headlines, a Look at the Plight of Sex Workers
What happens to the escort? While the Eliot Spitzer story has dominated the news media for the past two days, little coverage has been paid to the plight of sex workers in this country. We speak with Juhu Thukral, director of the Sex Workers Project of the Urban Justice Center.

A neighbor was just giving me a joke about Barak Obama being so liberal that he might make prostitution an open market with export and import status from America. Just think of all the tax they can get in on that.

In this economy, even the oldest profession on earth is taking a hit. Tonight, our cameras go inside Nevada's famed Mustang Ranch, where the customers are still streaming in -- only with less the spend -- and the job applications are up.

I have to agree with you RedSonja. The news is making seem like a harmless little thing that women can do to make great money. I believe that our society is allowing it to happen more and more openly. I believe that prostitutes need to be thrown in jail. We do not need these loose ladies out on the streets spreading their diseases. The men who frequent these places are no better themselves. If they did not go there there would be no girls there.
The fact that prostitution is legal in some places shows the level society has reached. The media does portray prostitution as something to be looked at as "cool". Even better is if you are a pimp, then you are looked as the next 50 cent. Such mixed up values are not new, they have been around for centuries and will continue til the end of time because men's desires are base.
