what could possibly be the motivation...

in a post today on schtupergate, reason magazine senior editor kerry howley opens by saying:

I’m fascinated by the Spitzer-inspired discussion of prostitution on blogs that identify as feminist, most of which seem to be conflicted but marginally pro-decriminalization.

i, for one, am assuming that those feminists in favor of decriminalization are doing so because a liberal democrat is feeling the heat, in much the same way that they turned a blind eye to pres. bill clinton's serial abuse of women.
