'If you don't take a job as a prostitute, we can stop your benefits' reports Clare Chapman in The Telegaph (Filed: 30/01/2005)
Now that prostitution is no longer considered by the law to be immoral, there is really nothing but the goodwill of the job centres to stop them from pushing women into jobs they don't want to do.
Miss Garweg believes that pressure on job centres to meet employment targets will soon result in them using their powers to cut the benefits of women who refuse jobs providing sexual services.
Under Germany's welfare reforms, any woman under 55 who has been out of work for more than a year can be forced to take an available job - including in the sex industry - or lose her unemployment benefit. Last month German unemployment rose for the 11th consecutive month to 4.5 million, taking the number out of work to its highest since reunification in 1990.
The more that government gets involved in society, the worse, not better, life gets. Governments have often resorted to euthenasia, and have also had to deal with the blowback. "You broke it, you bought it." Again, from today's Telegraph:
Czech women to sue over forced sterilisations
By Michael Leidig in Prague (Filed: 30/01/2005)
In a series of cases with disturbing overtones of the forced sterilisation programmes run by some of Eastern Europe's former Communist regimes, the women - from poor, little-educated or ethnic minority backgrounds - claim that they did not give proper consent for operations which have left them unable to have children.
Yes, that is the photo I wanted on this post...
