@cocatholicconf Re-reading this, I see the distinction between decrim v legalization. I appreciate that. The outcomes between the two are VERY different. Government can’t dictate individual morality. It can, and should, look to other models for better efficacy re: safety and autonomy.

Colorado Catholic Conference@cocatholicconf·
We are sorry to hear you are no longer practicing, but once confirmed you are still Catholic. Bishop Berg is always happy to meet with you, @NickForCO, on this bill or the other 40+ bills the Colorado Catholic Conference has taken positions on this session. In regard to SB 97, we reiterated your argument on decriminalization v legalization; the societal ills are no different. It’s a terrible and extremely damaging bill, and our hope is that you come to realize this and stop promoting it.

SB26-97 sponsored by @NickForCO (a Catholic) and Sen Lisa Cutter would have decriminalized prostitution in the state of Colorado. Data show in places where legal prostitution exists, more sex trafficking is the result and more abortions occur. Sen Hinrichsen announced this week that he would ask the committee to postpone the bill because he lacked the votes for passage, and there would be no public testimony. In the hearing, he instead presented his argument at length without allowing any opposition in public record. It made a mockery of the Sen Judiciary committee and a denial of the democratic process. Sen Hinrichsen’s argument is that there is a distinction between legalization (creating a regulatory framework) and decriminalization (removing criminal penalty). Both decriminalization and legalization of prostitution are a failure to respect the dignity of the human person and will result in a more destructive society for all Coloradans— more prostitution, more human trafficking, and more abortion. @coloradodems @cosendem #COLeg #COpolitics

@RepHartsook The section you reference is existing law, and the social services notification is in addition to criminal penalties, not a substitute. No non-consensual acts are decriminalized. So, are you lying for fear and clout, or do you just not know how to read a bill?

@Zamicol I’m thinking I’m a bit confused. You appear to be asking why I voted “yes” on a bill that was supported by 83% of democrats and 75% of republicans. What are you getting at?

She made no derogatory comments, and said nothing negative about our troops. She criticized a policy - an unconstitutional war, and the resultant killing of over 150 schoolgirls. I fought in Iraq too, Hartsook. I’m embarrassed by what we’ve become.
Representative Anthony Hartsook@RepHartsook

It is hypocritical and disingenuous for a member of the progressive wing of the Democrat caucus to use a moment of personal privilege to promote derogatory political propaganda and make negative comments about America and our military. She had the opportunity to limit her concerns to her family. Instead she chose to attack America, and our values. I fought in multiple wars to include the first Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan. I was in Afghanistan when the Taliban used a suicide bomber and a car full of explosives to blow up a girl’s school just because girls were getting an education. It was a gruesome scene. I am not going to be lectured by anyone about the horrors of war or “American Imperialism”. I served and fought overseas to bring freedom to people that were oppressed by the likes of Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Hamas, and other terrorism exported by Ayatollah Khomeini. Her arrogance and ignorance of combat operations combined with her derogatory comments about the intent of the men and women serving in the United States military, is one of the most disgraceful and disrespectful things I have seen at the Capitol.

My son was born less than 3 months before I deployed to Iraq. He’s almost old enough to serve himself. Maybe, by the time my grandkids reach adulthood, we’ll be done with unconstitutional forever wars. I certainly hope, at least.

@Dan_Gehrke_ I’m VERY comfortable with them knowing your moral opinion. You’re their Dad! That’s your job. Mine is to ensure that those who are engaged in this work have a legal framework centered on dignity and safety.

@NickForCO You’re comfortable with them knowing that you think a woman selling her body for sex is morally acceptable and should be legal? Seems weird. Kinda disgusting. But OK.

@Dan_Gehrke_ I want sex workers, who may come in contact with them, to be safe reporting what they saw. Trafficking decreases in decriminalized (not legalized) regimes. 2/?

@NickForCO This looks like your vibe, creep. I’m sure any law against pimping will be strictly enforced.
