I welcome Dr. Whitaker and thank her for her submission. It is important that we hear all the different views on this issue. I have three questions. Dr. Whitaker uses the word "compassion" a great deal in her presentation. As a woman, mother and citizen of this State, does she truly believe that the vast majority of women involved in prostitution are not exploited? Is her compassion not really about their safety? Is that not the reason she is directly involved with this issue? My second question-----
