Legalizing Prostitution

VFW Post 9528 in Buckhead Ridge recently elected a new commander, and in doing so, became one of only seven posts in the state of Florida to ever elect a female commander. Patricia Yount is not only the first female commander of Post 9528, she is also the first in District 11, which includes Lake Placid, Fort Pierce, Jenson Beach, Vero Beach, Sebring, Stuart, Hobe Sound, Sebastian, and Okeechobee. The Veterans of Foreign Wars opened its membership to women in 1970, but men still outnumber women by a huge number. Commander Yount explains that her post has 313 members, and only four of those are female. She is working on ideas to attract more women, and hopes to implement them in the near future.

There are some who are opposed to the legalization of prostitution stating it’s immoral, a matter of free choice or because of religious beliefs. Well these are all personal beliefs that although valid people will never reach a concise consensus on. The only resolution is tolerance. Sex is a matter of free choice and a woman should have the right to choose whether or not to become a sex worker and not be judged harshly because of it. Instead of trying to criminalize sex workers, let’s legitimize their work and protect their human

According to, “Conclusion: Learning from Nevada”, the main issue that is being discussed in this article is legalized prostitution in the U.S. It is based on a study done in Nevada, the only state in the United States, which currently has legalized prostitution. This article offers a lot of key information that the reader can learn from. My analysis will show the author’s position on legalized prostitution, misconceptions, problems and my analysis on legalizing prostitution, based on the information, learned from this study.

Patty Kelly’s article, “Enough already, it’s time we decriminalize prostitution”, takes the reader into a fascinating behind the scene look into one of Mexico’s legalized brothels. Although it is apparent that her research and investigation into this social experiment are well defined, it is too narrow a focus to gather all the required information to support her argument. Kelly begins with a half hazard analysis of Elliot Spitzer infidelity, then continues down the path that is far too laser like to see the overall effect on these women; failing to see these prostitutes as real people with hearts and souls. Instead, she produces an impression that the prostitutes are just commodity, bought and sold on the open market, lacking feeling

To assume that it can be removed from society is harmful and a waste of our resources. Offering a safe environment for prostitution makes the most sense by allowing the “profession” to continue legally minimizing the dangers that are currently attached. Knowing that legalization offers prostitutes equal access to health care, protection by law enforcement, and decreased risks of human sex trafficking make the argument of legalization clear. As humans we should all want to help make life better for each other regardless of our choice of profession. We can do this by making prostitution legal in

Prostitution is an issue that has been debated in many countries. 22 countries have legalized prostitution. In the United States, prostitution is only legal in 11 rural counties in Nevada. It used to be legal in Rhode Island due to a loophole, but since 2009, it has been illegal 1. Women are not the only ones who are prostitutes, about 20 to 30% of prostitutes are male 2, which means both genders are affected by laws against prostitution. Men and women should be allowed to choose how they want to use their bodies how they wish, and that includes prostitution.

The legalization of prostitution has been a compelling two sided argument for many years. When morals and reasoning combine, it is often hard to come to one solution. Prostitution is considered to be a serious issue in countries around the world. The amount of prostitution has been increasing tremendously every year and it seems to be getting more serious than the past centuries. The government has legalized prostitution in a few countries and people are wondering if this will become an all over the world thing. There are two very different views to legalizing prostitution that I would like to explore.

Many believe the illegalization of prostitution today to be an antiquated view of the trade, and want to see it legalized. However, prostitution should not see legalization due to it will promote more sexual unacceptable activities such as child prostitution, expand the sex trafficking trade, and escalate poor treatment to those in the trade.

It is safe to say that legalization would bring a safer environment for the prostitutes themselves. Second, to address the immorality concern, I have to argue that from a freedom perspective, why should two consenting adults be barred from engaging in copulation in the United States of America. Why should it be illegal to sell something that it is legal to give away? Instead of letting big government overreach dictate how people can do business and conduct their own private affairs, it seems to me the smarter and more moral option to improve general health and general safety by legalizing prostitution.

In the United States, with the exception of Nevada, prostitution and sex work is illegal. If taxed and regulated, it can bring more benefits not only to the economy but to smaller aspects as well, such as health care and crime rates as opposed to keeping it illegal and penalizing it. Therefore, prostitution and sex work should be legalized in the United States. Prostitution is viewed as bad thing within society, morally; yet the many benefits are often not spoken of, which are that prostitution would lower sexually transmitted diseases and crime rate all while improving health care and the economy. Prostitution is legal within 61 countries, 22 out of the 25 safest countries to live in prostitution is legal according to Procon.org and worldatlas.com.

Whether or not the United States should legalize prostitution is a highly debated social, political, ethical, and cultural issue. Prostitution by definition is to engage in sexual activity with someone for payment. Although many countries and even some rural counties in the U.S. have legalized prostitution, it still has dire effects on the women involved and is an immoral and exploitative act. Prostitution is an unethical and immoral act of exploitative, degrading, and abusive work that the United States should not tolerate. The abolition of prostitution is a legal approach with proven positive results that could dramatically reduce the amount of illegal prostitution and human trafficking taking place in the United States.

In recent articles and news reports in the United States, many people are debating if Prostitution should be legalized or remain illegal. A lot of women are driven to prostitution to support their family or to satisfy their sex drive. There are a lot of comments made about prostitution on whether prostitution is considered a job or an sex offense to women. Many people don’t agree with Prostitution being considered a job because it is disrespectful to women, or some people see it as a way of support especially when they are the only family provider. But some people don’t understand that if Prostitution is Legalized that gives the sex industry a gateway to expand. In addition The United States Government should not legalize prostitution because

Driving under the influence of drugs, whether licit or illicit, is a problem for road safety, quite similar to driving under the influence of alcohol. The United States of America have a complex corpus of drug laws and enforcement methods. The complementary legislative regimes of the federal and state governments on illicit drugs overlap, however there are differences from state to state.

The main reason many people believe that prostitution should be legal, would be because a person should have the rights to chose what they want with their body. On an

Early design aircrafts were manufactured from many materials with poor properties that would develop problems in the aircraft’s life and performance. In early aircrafts, such as the Wright Flyer, were constructed from Stika spruce, which is a natural type of fibrous composite material. This material gave the aircraft many issues, one of them being fungal rot which then imposing a change in the design of aircraft material. This then brought the introduction of other alternate materials; such as aluminium, which was a boost in aircraft performance and operational life. As the evolvement of the aerospace industry reaches the 1970s, the use of composite materials has increased rapidly. By this time, other materials were introduced to the development of an efficient aircraft such as steel and titanium.
