Legalization of
|
Legalization of Plain and simple, I support it. While I feel that cheapens the value of sex to an undesirable level, I am not the entire population. It makes no sense to keep this illegal. From what I can tell, the criminalization of is purely a moral issue. A bunch of moral high-horsers decided that Christianity is THE only religion, and thus the entire population needs to follow their God's lead. Unfortunately for us, they were the vast majority back then, and everybody else pretty much had to go along with their biddings. Morality aside, there are other, logical arguments to support the idea of keeping illegal. With the rising number of STDs and those infected, it would make sense that would be a cesspool of disease that if we were to eradicate, we could help cut down on the amount of STDs being transfered. Unfortunately, I think this is the wrong way of thinking about it. Instead of keeping it criminalized to cut down disease, it only helps to spread it. This is where the benefits of legalization come in. With it legal, there would be legal brothels opening up across the country, and then you could regulate the cleanliness of the services provided. Much like liquor, when is illegal the quality actually goes down. People are looking for ways to make a quick buck and quality is the last things on their minds at the time. Not to mention the could also be screened for diseases. On the streets, this isn't possible, and to turn away customers because of their cleanliness means you could be turning away your meal ticket for the next day. The disease-related issues of could only improve upon legalization. If you want proof, just look at the places in Nevada where it's legal. The places are clean, disease free, and for what the women are doing, it's a very good environment for them to work in. Their are clean, and the prostitutes are treated with respect and dignity. Maybe it's just a fluke, but I completely feel it's not. If given the chance to capitalize on the market, people will do it, and if people don't have to break the law to do it, the industry has the opportunity to have high quality standards like we would expect from any other industry. As for moral issues, I don't like . I think it's wrong to cheapen sex to that degree, and I feel that it's a waste of money. However, I'm not going to push for my morals to be the law. That's just ridiculous. As long as the is between two, consenting adults, there should not be an issue. There can be no victim if both parties involved are consenting to the act. This, of course, would still keep (even if the 'paid' for the services afterward) and illegal, as it should be. When it comes down to it, it's the choice of the prostitutes and their to make. Whether or not it's a moral act, we have no place to legally ban it. Anything else is intrusive and unequal. |
