Legalized Prostitution Debate

Arguments in Favor of the Legalized Prostitution Debate

Proponents for the legalization of prostitution generally believe that, since prostitution is a harmless act, it should not, by definition, be considered a crime. Many believe that criminalizing prostitution only exacerbates the spread of diseases, and if the practice were legal, it would encourage cleaner working conditions and better STD testing for prostitutes. Those who support legalization also believe that there is nothing immoral about sex, and since it is freely dispensed, there is no harm in charging for it. Many also believe that criminalizing the industry only brings discrimination and poor working conditions for sex providers and purchasers. Current laws do not stop prostitutes from selling sex, but seems only to make them more prone to violent acts while working. Many also think that if women could legally participate on their own free will, the likelihood of underage prostitution and sex slaves would decrease.

The World's OLDEST profession need to be Legalized....

Pussy has been For Sale from the beginning of time  ;D

Prostitution is good for the economy for several reasons. First, it takes a previously illegal industry and legalizes it, opening the way for tax revenue which will help the government. It would provide low-skill people with a chance to work, and it will offer new business opportunity's for business owners.

PLUS : medical clearance will be required to prove :

absence of STDs and /or HIV......

so is safe Pum Pum fuh Rent  :-[

Legalizing Prostitution cuts down on crime in several ways. Firstly prostitution would itself no longer be a crime, and prostitutes or their clients could no longer be arrested. Secondly, the secondary crime that is common with proposition such as drugs, abuse and the like would be dramatically decreased with legalization.

It is more a Health issue re STDs and AIDS....

SO any Legalisation must be based on Medical clearance ...

I think that that prostitution should be legalized

The first reason I think that it should be legal is because it would be a lot safer. It prostitution was legal and operated within a controlled environment, prostitutes and clients could be tested for STDs and proper protection could be issued. This would GREATLY cut back on the spread of STDs.

The second reason I think it should be legal is because it would generate tax revenue which would help the economy. Prostitution is an $18 billion dollar industry in the us and none of that is going to taxes (Source: http://on-msn.com/1onh5wR).

My final reason that I think it should be legal is because it is done between two consenting adults and if they decide that is what they want to do, they should be able to do without legal punishment.

Its Free Enterprise , the American way of Economics...

I just dont care for the johns and pimps ...
