What are 10 reasons prostitution should be illegal?

It's also important to consider the other side.


1. Freedom of choice. A woman should be able to choose what she does with her body.


2. It lessens the likelihood that people will kidnap women and force them into prostitution.


3. Taxes. If it were legalized, the government could tax prostitution and use that money for schools or other useful enterprises.


4. It is a victimless crime. Nobody is harmed, so long as safe sex takes place so that no diseases are transferred.


5. Morality. Why should it be immoral to pay for/sell something that can be had at no cost?


6. Employment. More people could find jobs if it were legitimate work.


7. Lessens violence. In any illegal enterprise, there is a greater chance for violence. If prostitution were legal, it would be safer for those involved.


8. It would help the economy.


9. Health. If it were legal, and laws demanded certain things such as condoms, it could prevent many health issues such as HIV and other STDs.
