some very forward thinking there but the times are what made it necessary.

Seems as though today, since there are laws, many believe prostitution is not an issue. If you think of the reasons the laws were made, it might bring one to a better understanding.

The history hasn't really passed though, if you think about the human trafficking problems this country and many others have.

Much of early feminism had a moral/biblical twist to it. Using the bible to justify certain rights for women.
