(CNN) A Democrat wants to legalize sex work. "Opposition to sex work comes from a deeply moralistic and religious place," says RJ Thompson, director of the Sex Workers Project in New York, a human rights lawyer and a long time sex worker himself. He argues that there is plenty of legal sex work -- from stripping to the porn industry -- and that escort services should be included and fully decriminalized. Men and younger people were more likely than women or older people to support legal sex work. And Harris added enormous caveats to her support for legal sex work in her interview with The Root.
