California SB 14 was written to make child trafficking a serious crime . It has already been all but decriminalized for adults in the state .It was stalled by California Public Safety Committee on a party line vote. The cowardly Dems on the committee abstained rather than outright voting down the bill . Even Guv Newsom sees the folly in their move and is taking steps to revive the bill.

This may also be a national movement . Look at how the left's hair is on fire over the popularity of the movie 'Sound of Freedom' about the sex trafficking of children. They are calling it a Q Anon conspiracy theory .

Sound of Freedom is based on the true story of Tim Ballard.; a former government agent who embarks on a mission to rescue children from sex traffickers in Colombia.

. It has already been all but decriminalized for adults in the stateExpand on that a little will you, Tom. What "it" are you referring to?

California governor rolls back law criminalizing ‘loitering for the intent to engage in sex work’ – The Hill (https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/equality/3546490-california-governor-rolls-back-law-criminalizing-loitering-for-the-intent-to-engage-in-sex-work/)

Assemblymember Liz Ortega on Thursday said she “made a bad decision” to vote against the bill earlier in the week

Duh ya think ?

I wouldn't at all be surprised to see Cali end up with legalized prostitution much like that which exists in Denmark or, for that matter, in Nevada. The big question will be how far they might roll back the age of consent.

Decriminalizing it doesn't make it victimless .

It's a terrible idea which makes it all the more likely that Cali will do it.
