Should prostitution be legalized??

Question

why or why not??

Answer 1

No. It will not deter crime on women.  Women will continue to be raped.  It will not do anything but contribute to the evil that this world has deteriorated to.  It is degrading to woman and an exploitation of women.

ugggh no way, imagine the STD rate shooting up and well duh that would just make it ok for those sick people out there to sell their children openly. I guess it is every man and womens choice to do wahtever they want with their body but in my personal opinion it just isnt right!! why do you ask.?

Absolutely!  Sexual Crimes would be less.

By the way what gives a state or government the right to tell anyone what they can do with their own body??

Answer 11

I lived in NV before CO and found that prostitution does not tear at the moral fiber of the community.....more married men do not cheat on their wives....and children do not grow up warped....the taxes also help.......I have no problem with legalized prostitution....  

Answer 12

No, it only puts the women in MORE danger.

Answer 13

Yes. The prostitutes can have mandatory testing and the tax revenue alone, also as mentioned before this does cut out the illegal pimps. Lastly it is safer for the women because this is mostly done in brothels with bouncers and other security measures. I live in Nevada and have seen legalized prostitution work out quite well.

Answer 14

Absolutely yes. It does not make sense that it is illegal to sell something that is legal to give away for free. This is just one more example of how religion interferes with people's rights.

Answer 15

Yes, lots of reasons. Primarily, that anything two consenting adults do together is nobody's business. Certainly, criminalizing it doesn't get rid of it (the stated purpose of prostitution laws). But also, legalization instantly puts the criminal pimps out of business, thus completely eliminating the victimization associated with street-walkers. It gets it off the streets and into legal cathouses, and allows the trade to be regulated to insure that the prostitutes get regular STD checks and always use condoms for the sake of public health. Where it is legal, it is safer, healthier, and more discreet.
