Canadian court strikes down anti-prostitution laws

[whell]

"Ottawa — Canada’s highest court struck down the country’s anti-prostitution laws Friday, a victory for sex workers who stepped up their fight for safer working conditions following the serial killings of prostitutes by a pig farmer in British Columbia.

The 9-0 Supreme Court ruling found that the laws violated the guarantee to life, liberty and security of the person. But the ruling won’t take effect immediately because it gave Parliament a one-year reprieve to respond with new legislation.

Prostitution isn't illegal in Canada, but many of the activities associated with prostitution are classified as criminal offenses."

So, I wonder how the left in this country will deal with this ruling. Will they celebrate it as a victory for women's rights, and the right of a woman to do what she wants with her body? Or, will the feminists hold sway and demand more protection for, and abhor the on-going victimization, exploitation and objectification of, Canadian women?
