Should prostitution get legalised?

Question

So that there can be no more murders and so they working girls can get screened for STI's?

No most definitely not.

Answer 1

The Glasgow "safe zone" experiment reduced reported attacks on prostitiutes from around 1400 per year to almost zero. Great idea, and shame on those who ended the experiment.

Answer 2

Prostitution is not actually illegal.

However, loitering and soliciting for the purpose of prostitution are illegal, as running a brothel (defined as a dwelling where two or more women are working as prostitutes).

Working girls can get screened for STI's now, if they choose to. They do not have to say why they want screened.

And I'm afraid that legalising prostitution would not stop murders.

1. exchanging some form of wealth for an erotic act IS already legalized in many places.

In addition to places like Nevada where bordellos and brothells are quite the norm, there is also this little thing that the rest of the world calls 'marriage', most of which is nothing short of paying someone afterwards for the privilege of the other performance of erotic acts.

2. Even in places where erotic careerism is completely legal, murders have still been committed. Ergo, murders are going to continue to happen even IF erotic careerism is legalized throughout the world.

3. So-called 'working girls' can already get screened for STDs any time they want. They just have to be able to pay for it. That IS what the money part of erotic careerism is all about, isn't it?

Oh, right.. no, it isn't. The minute a 'john' leaves, the 'working girl' gets shaken down by her pimp, who takes all the money and gives the 'working girl' only a very small fraction of what she 'earned', thereby making it difficult for a 'working girl' to pay for her own basics, and much less possible for her to pay for her STD screening.

Still, it has absolutely nothing to do with the that career's status of legalization that prevents it's 'workers' from getting screened.

The most I would say for it is that it should become both decriminalized and depenalized.

But, that isn't about to happen, because until the local governments find ways to reap a high enough taxational revenue therefrom, the various local governments will want to continue to punish ANYONE who seeks to deprive them of their paychecks, most of which comes from men working and simply turning over the bulk of their paychecks to his legitimized wife, most of whom spend both his money and hers in local businesses, thereby generating the taxational revenues which pay the government-employees' paychecks.

So, they want to punish anybody responsible for putting money into the hands of anyone else with less regard for their local businesses, or more regard for spending money patiently.

That is, after all, why the erotic careers ever became outlawed in the first place.

Answer 4

Think about how the job markets work today. The industries using people to create goods and services for pennies on the dollar. The corporate greed and the unfavorable working conditions. Wal-mart has the largest number of Temporary employees so t that it doesn't have to pay out medical benefits for it's work force. This is the mind of the capitalists.

Legalizing this industry would end up being so degrading and it will make corporations and capitalists Billions of dollars. We already have a multi-billion dollar sex industry here in America and it's a horrible thing to have to deal with. Why would you want to legalize whole scale prostitution?

It is already legal in Nevada and regulated and I think that is sad enough as it is. Women should be cherished and adored, not used for lustful sex objects in an industrial environment.

Answer 5

I have a special place in my heart for these women who were sucked into this terrible kind of life because of hardships and personal tragedies.
However, legalizing this practice would not change the number of related crimes or bring down the risk of STDs.
In these modern times where major developments are taking place, this trade is a stumbling stone. While women seek equality, prostitution holds down the image of a woman as something inferior, something here to use. As long as women allow themselves to be viewed as objects, the process towards the real recognition of equality will be impaired. Legalizing prostitution would be a major step backwards.
That being said, I believe every mature, responsible citizen should be ready to be of aid to these women. As drugs, diseases, and suicide are common among them, a helping hand should always be stretched towards them to help those who are trying to get out of it, but also for those who see no way out.

Answer 6

YES. They work to provide a service so why not keep them safe. Just because they are prostitutes why treat their profession any differently. It is the oldest profession in the world after all.

What we have to remember in these days is that a lot of them have pimps that have got them into drugs. It's then difficult for them to get out of it. Get rid of the pimps and legalise it. Make men pay but not profit from it because it's easy money for them.

Answer 7

Prostitution IS legal in parts of Nevada. i'm especially particular it would not want to be presented as a level contained in the college device, although. maximum folk in contact with this market especially a lot have the occupation found out from the get-bypass. playstation : Everett? maximum regulations, even the following contained in the uber-Christian united statesof A., are not any more depending on the Bible. you comprehend, this is that entire 'separation of church and state' problem. you may not make some thing legal basically because this is licensed contained in the Bible (like slavery and murdering your man or woman toddlers in the adventure that they sass you), or unlawful because this is condemned contained in the Bible (like homosexuality). .

Answer 8

Absolutely! This model works well in many European countries and has proven to make a much safer environment for the girls and the public. The archaic system in the US will continue to waste dollars enforcing this victimless crime and continue to spend time and labor in an event that is consensual between both parties engaging. In sum, less crime, fewer STD's, more money enforcing violent crime, less money for pimps that are involved in other more serious crimes, less violent rape, a sexual outlet for the undesirables.
Legalize!

Answer 9

Of course it should. I'd rather someone get their relief from a prostitute than to molest my wife or daughters. Prostitutes serve a great public need and deserve our respect and support.

Answer 10

Probably, though i don't think for one second that legalisation would necessarily stop prostitutes being killed.
