Christians should support a sex-worker co-op

Pastor David Bornman says he is concerned for the dignity of human life ["No-go zones rile Hamilton", June 7-14]. So am I. I am so concerned that I am in full support of a sex-worker cooperative where workers can ply their trade in a safe space and have access to the very human dignity Mr. Bornman talks about.

I am a Christian who has no illusion that the sex trade is going anywhere. Instead of rallying against the only good solution yet to provide safe sex-work options, I think we should support this initiative. Christians everywhere should be following God's law of loving everyone equally–something our Criminal Code lacks significantly.

It is about time somebody said no to the violence and slaughter of our women. And Christians should be leading the charge. If this co-op recommendation isn't pro-life, I don't know what is.
