dfduck 181 Report post Posted October 6, 2009 2 hours, 29 minutes ago By The Canadian Press TORONTO - Lawyers for three prostitutes are in court in Toronto arguing to have laws around the world's oldest profession thrown out. They argue the restrictions violate their rights and endanger their safety. In particular, the sex professionals oppose the ban on communicating for prostitution purposes. They also argue the ban on working from home, or indoors, puts them at risk. Groups opposed to prostitution such as Real Women are intervening in the case. While prostitution is legal in Canada many of the activities surrounding it are illegal, and the Supreme Court has previously ruled the soliciting ban could stand. "This is not about a right to sell sex - you can sell sex," lawyer Alan Young told Ontario Superior Court on Tuesday. "It's about a right to liberty and security."
