Oooh, Maricopa. Maybe he’ll be thrown to Sheriff Joe.
“This isn’t prostitution, it’s slavery.
It should be a capital crime.”
I’d go for that!
That didn’t make a lick of sense.
Hmm...Don Imus got pilloried for thinking that women with tattoos looked like “hos.”
Seeing as I don't have ESP all I can do is guess, but most of the cops I have met seem to have been good people who are out to make a difference and I seriously doubt they would just shrug their shoulders when confronted by a 13 year old prostitute. It's interesting that you would assume they would do otherwise. It also shows a real lack of respect for law enforcement.
No, it would continue to exist.
There were far more alcohol-related deaths (and the violence associated with it) during Prohibition. And we all know what happens when guns are banned. (See Philadelphia).
Give me a break.
Do you realize how illogical your defense is of an issue easily resolved by local regulations?
Are the runaway girls going to stop running away?
It'll drastically decrease for minors as they wouldn't be exploited by older men, who engage them in such activities since there would be no profit in it
Are they going to find “other work”?
Likely, yes - you already have community centers and non-profit groups who intervene and help these women.
Are they going to stop being exploited?
By whom? If it was regulated, there wouldn't be a need for pimps. Duh.
Are they going to stop taking drugs to erase the pain?
LOL. You can't save everyone from themselves, you know.
So what. At least it'll be safe for the women, there wouldn't be any of this street-walking or sex in public places. They wouldn't have to give their cut to pimps.
How is prostitution any different from picking up a chick at a bar and taking her home?

‘If you don’t take a job as a prostitute, we can stop your benefits’
A 25-year-old waitress who turned down a job providing “sexual services’’ at a brothel in Berlin faces possible cuts to her unemployment benefit under laws introduced this year.
Prostitution was legalised in Germany just over two years ago and brothel owners – who must pay tax and employee health insurance – were granted access to official databases of jobseekers. (snip)

I cannot contemplate an exchange of cash for the physical and emotional impact of sexual intercourse.
Prostitution is no different from paying someone to service you as a slave, if only temporarily.
Because the act of sex affects the brain chemistry of the participants, and specifically denies the emotional and physical consequences it should be treated as any drug problem.
A free people can only retain their freedom if they are also moral. Freedom cannot survive a generally immoral population.
Death to all pimps.
Once again, I point to this in depth study of the results of legalized prostitution before anyone claims it would be safer legal.

Ahhh, so people with a moral objection to prostitution aren’t “fairminded” in your view, I gather.
Just what does “fairminded” mean? That they agree with you? Have good looking minds?
There are plenty of prostitutes that have no pimp.
I was being sarcastic. (hint: prostitution is already illegal and that fact and expense did nothing to stop this branding activity)
sorry.
Gee, these two look harmless! Time to rev up ol sparkie! Since these two are so into tatoos. Why don’t we put a tatoo on each forehead branding them child molesters!

and a 22-year-old woman were arrested in Phoenix for actively pimping girls aged 14-17.
If she pimps girls, is she a victim?
