No hugh, States have only the power to reasonably regulate the commercial aspects of prostitution. The power to prohibit 'sin' has never been delegated to them, or to any level of any government.
South Carolina has outlawed prostitution.
Unconstitutionally, just like CA has 'outlawed' assault weapons.
Give up the pretense Hugh, and admit you're allied with the gungrabbing blue nosed prohibitionist cultists.
Did the people of South Carolina vote for a State Constitution Amendment to give their State the power to regulate consentual sexual liaison contracts (ie; prostitution)?
If they did, then yes. They can outlaw it. If not, then not. Not and still lay a claim to being part of a Constitutional Republic. Put some other name on it. Dictatorship. Oligarchy. Communism. Socialism. Fascism.
Just not a Republic. Don't defame the name.
