From the Paper:

"The "sex-work" feminists believe that prostitutes should be accorded the same legal and political rights and protections as other working citizens, while the abolitionists believe that one's body is a work of God, and therefore is sacred and, like in the case of slavery, should not be treated as property to be bought and sold (O'Connell pp). Feminist abolitionists believe that the subject/object distinction in prostitution corresponds to a patriarchal order in which males achieve self-sovereignty through the political subordination of women (O'Connell pp)."
