where i live, it is legal but the girls must get a licsense and be tested for disease regularly...its not legal to make the transactions on the street
ugh. this is a very complex issue that deals with so many issues. if it were legalized it would allow a lot more protection, it would standardize some health-care issues, it would mean fewer people trapped into this lifestyle. it is still an abominable way of life that should not enjoy federal protection.
i voted yes, but what a mess of an issue.

If it would help rid the world of pimps and free up violence against hookers, then yes. There's a shit-load of women that are murdered every year by their pimps or some crazy john. But the govt. doesn't give a shit about this, so nothing will happen. I agree with lurkingdirk, it's a messy issue, people just shooo it under the rug.
Plus I think male judges have fun sneaking around looking for a trick, street-walker or otherwise. :2 cents:

It's not about taste. It's not about morals. It's not about approval ...
It's about public safety and health. People are going to engage in it, so it's an industry that requires regulation. Same deal with abortion. People are going to engage in it, so it's an industry that requires regulation.
Remember, the government is designed to serve the interests of the public. Not merely the interests of a majority. Not merely the intersts of a majority viewpoint. Government is to ensure public safety as a whole, without limiting rights.
Otherwise, if we didn't have that clarification, pure statistics would outlaw alcohol consumption overnight. In fact, that's what happened shortly after women obtained the right to vote. Ironically, it was a real case of "women know better." Unfortunately, just like prostitution and abortion, it spawned a black market when made illegal.
Again, it's hardly about taste, morals and approval. It's about public safety and health.
Of course, does that argument still hold when it comes to drug users and giving out free needles? Ahhh, now that's a more difficult one. At what point does the government subsidize personal irresponsibility? And how do you define that, because one could claim abortions are also the same argument (if you ignore the 18 years of responsibility that comes with pregnancy at least).

Weeell ah never. Look who's back in town. Hi Dawn. :wave2: :glugglug:
Yes. It would literally save every nation billions in savings when healthcare, criminal, regulation costs/savings are all factored in.
For a basic human function (sex) the U.S. has a very conservative, out-of-touch, unrealistic and unhealthy view. Our bodies are designed to have sex. We need to not act like fucking Quakers. Err....pun intended.

:hatsoff:
Prostitution will always exist regardless of the law.
Legalizing it will help to offer safety those involved against both physical violence and disease.
And I will save a bundle on my lawyer fees.

yes, if a man wants sex and is willing to pay for it and a woman is willing to allow a man to have sex with her for money. then who is the govt to say they can't. i do believe it should be a regulated industry and the girls and guys should be tested regularly.
No. It exploits men out of their money.

Objection your honor!! The government does the SAME exact thing.
I am in total favor that prostitution should be legal. It's the oldest profession and it's not going away now or any time soon. To quote God, aka George Carlin: "Why should prostitution be illegal? Selling is legal, fucking is legal. Why isn't selling fucking legal?" "In the Army they give you a medal for spraying napalm on people. In civilian life you go to jail for giving someone an orgasm. I don't see the logic in that at all."

I think it should be legalized. There would be less harm to sex workers if there were more regulations.
I assume that was a joke.
