[QUOTE="zephcom, post: 73459189, member: 400000"] Nor do I think it is the responsibility of government to 'protect' people from not knowing what they are getting into. Once you start that, there could be a ton of things that people would not be allowed to do. For instance, just one person who didn't know that getting a home loan could lead them to losing all their investment if they didn't buy insurance could keep everyone else from being allowed to buy a home. The idea that -you- or a bunch of -yous- could decide for everyone what they can and can't do because not everyone is sufficiently capable of knowing what you know is just wrong. People should not be legislating morals. And, believe it or not, woman are intelligent enough to decide for themselves if prostitution is something they want to participate in. They don't need either you or me to protect them from themselves. The current state of prostitution is unacceptable for anyone with a moral compass. By making it illegal, women can't turn to the law when they are kidnapped, abused, raped or even killed. The law offers them no protection because, as prostitutes, they are themselves criminals. Making it legal provides the power of the law to protect both them and their customers. A woman could actually quit without the thug who 'protects' her beating her senseless for suggesting she wasn't going to work anymore. I can't even grasp why someone would want to keep prostitution illegal if they had any empathy for human beings at all. But that is just me. [/QUOTE]
