Theft is morally questionable yet I'm not going to suggest legalizing it... Every law addressing one person's behavior towards another is some form of legislating morality.
My main point is if this is legalized, nothing will get better. Young girls will be further exploited. No 50 year old woman is going to look back and say "Gee, I'm glad I was a sleeper at 19".
Actually, she might.
She might not put it that way, though.
The truth of the matter is that some might brag about it,
especially if they were
especially successful.
I watched a special on HBO years ago about prostitution. I remember they were talking to this sleeper who said she was proud of her job, life etc.... They asked her to recount her first paid experience. She started talking about it but then unexpectedly broke down in the middle. She gathered herself and continued on with her fake story about how great the life was but the reality had been exposed. it's dirty, ugly and destroys her self worth. She gets used by men and discarded. Again, is that the life you want for your daughter, grand daughter?
I've met women broke down talking about an abortion.
I've met people who had deep heartache over some of lifes decisions. People have the right to make mistakes, even if those mistakes create regret.
I maintain that prostitution, though unsavory, should be legal.

Theft is morally Questionable? How can you compare?
Is purchasing also morally Questionable.?
Is rape morally Questionable?

You know that how? Define better.

Explain why.

You don't have a clue about that. How many women have graduated college by selling it?
