JOG: Prostitution, Legal or not?
It is a very complicated question and has many variables, and diapers. (Depends)
But if only two answers available, Legal.
Reasoning: It is already happening. The Most money is made by Pimps, not Hookers. No taxes are being paid on that money. The practice, is more, ‘crime’ ridden than most other, ‘businesses’.
Now look at, ‘Drugs’. At one time, Heroin, Opium, Marijuana, etc were, legal! A person could also get Poisons over the counter. In fact, deadly ‘poisons’, (of today), were once Prescribed by Doctors ! (Just run down to the local drug store, buy some powered Arsenic, tell them you have a rat problem, sprinkle some on a donut, give it to you spouse, and when the the police come, say, ‘Gee I don’t Know what happened, I just gave, him/her a Donut’) Of course not possible today, with the advance in Sciences. Then, they were, Illegal. Who profited? People who don’t pay taxes on those profits. Crime. And all sorts of NEW, ‘designer’ drugs came about. (What if, drugs were, legal, would the crime associated with that, ’trade’ dry up) ?
Now to learn: Booze, was legal. Their were some problems. Then it became, Illegal then their were more problems. (More Crime). Then it became Legal again, and less problems. Can we learn?
So with Prostitution. Would making it, Legal, make at, ‘acceptable’ ? Would their be, More, “Pretty Woman”, type Hookers. or less. Would their be less, Crime, and exploited, women/men associated with it, (I think yes). Would the guberment, with new rules and regulation and licensing, take FAR much more, than necessary? (I believe yes) But, it is worth a try. Just like, ‘legal’ drugs.
But, as in the case of, Prostitution, It, CAN, be legal, in a heartbeat. Anywhere in Any State/County ! No one, (State) has done in yet. outside of one.
So Many, ‘Depends’.
Their needs to be a Woman’s view on this Subject. I know many Women, on this list, read this, ‘forum’, but don’t comment, because their are afraid, of not, Manually, correcting, the, ‘Auto-Correct’, spelling of their post. And, (Heavens Forbid), if they put a, ‘comma’, in the wrong place. (according to some).
I say to the Women on this list: ‘Do NOT be afraid to state your views, State them, and Ignore the grammar/spelling, comments”.
