Democratic lawmakers in Illinois have introduced proposals that could significantly alter state law. The first proposal seeks to legalize prostitution, while the second aims to allow inmates to vote while incarcerated in state and federal prisons.
The proposal to legalize prostitution has sparked concerns about potential increases in human trafficking and exploitation, particularly of vulnerable women and children. Critics argue that keeping prostitution illegal is necessary to protect communities.
The second proposal, which would enable inmates to participate in the electoral process while serving their sentences, has also faced opposition. Detractors claim that prison should be a place for individuals to pay their debt to society rather than engage in voting. They argue that allowing criminals to vote undermines justice and disrespects crime victims.
