I never understood why prostitution was illegal. Shouldn't people have the right to get paid for sex? And why is it the government's business if they do so? How is it different from hooking up with a random person? And how is it any different from being a stripper (yes the sex part I know, by is it ok for a woman to get paid to take her clothes off but not to have sex?)?
I think that having prostitution is dangerous for the prostitutes. If they are raped or beaten by their pimp or client, they cannot report it. Why? Because prostitution is illegal and they will go to jail for confessing the rape.
Not all prostitutes work under a pimp nor are all low class women who were "forced" to work in the business. Some are middle class women who work from their house or brothels if they are in Nevada and they got into the business by choice.
If it's legalized, it can be regulated and government can require all prostitutes to get health exams every so often to help prevent STDs from spreading.
You can think that prostitution is gross, immoral, or whatever. But no one is forcing you to go to one.
