Agree

Yes, consenting adults have the right to do what they want with their bodies

Democrats often emphasize bodily autonomy and privacy (e.g., broader party messaging around reproductive rights and LGBTQ rights), which aligns with an adult-consent framing, though not uniformly applied to sex work across the party.

Agree

Yes

National Democrats are split, but the party’s civil-liberties and public-health oriented wing (and many Democratic-led cities/states) has moved toward decriminalization/harm-reduction; there is no clear national platform plank fully endorsing it.

Agree

No, punish the buyers of sex, not the workers

The 'Nordic model' (penalize buyers, not sellers) has attracted support from some Democratic-aligned anti-trafficking and feminist advocates and has been proposed in some Democratic-led jurisdictions, but it is not a uniform party position.

Agree

Yes, legalize, tax, and regulate it to ensure health and safety

A regulated public-health approach fits mainstream Democratic governance instincts (workplace safety, health regulation), but full legalization/taxation is not a settled party consensus and is less commonly endorsed than partial decriminalization.

Slightly agree

No, legalization increases human trafficking and violent exploitation

Anti-trafficking concerns are bipartisan and many Democrats cite exploitation risks; however, Democrats also often support harm-reduction and distinguish consensual sex work from trafficking, so the party would not strongly embrace this as a decisive argument against decriminalization.

Disagree

No

Many Democrats oppose a blanket 'No' framing because it conflicts with harm-reduction and criminal-justice reform trends, though some Democratic officials still resist decriminalization due to trafficking/violence concerns.

Strongly disagree

No, prostitution is immoral and degrades society

A moral-degradation argument is more associated with social conservatives; the Democratic Party’s modern coalition is generally less likely to ground policy in sexual morality claims.
