Why is prostitution illegal in the United States?

Question

"If our government is suppose to be separate from religion how does the justice department rationalize having laws against it? Is it immoral if our moral code is built off of religion? Is it dangerous? If it is due to danger to life then why do we not have laws against s*x in general? Why don't we just say all s*x is illegal due to the fact that you could catch a STD? Have all pregnancies be supervised by a medical professional.

Answer 1

It is a horrible practice and is a form of slavery.

That would make it not ok don't you think?

*in simpler terms*

Selling your body for money,

Answer 3

Because the fat-cats want all the whores to themselves.

Answer 4

BECAUSE THEY are HARD TO CONTROL WITH THE INCOME  AND NOT PAYING TAXES  LIKE  AL CAPONE  IF HE HAD PAID TAXES  THERE WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM

to tell you  more i as a husband of a cold latina woman  i would rather go to a safe prostitute  and have good s*x  for two or three times a month instead  of nothing  and end up with a lot of bills  every month on top of it
