This is true--but prostitution is wrong, and a pernicious sin that attracts other revolting and violent things even where it's legal.
We need to accept, not prostitution as legal, but original sin as a fact. That means there are things that tempt us through our weak human nature that we must reject and resist, or be destroyed. If we legally endorse the idea that sex is NOT a sacred thing that belongs only to marriage, we blow up everything.
Why? If you legalize what's wrong that you like, such as nookie with no strings attached, you get what's wrong that you don't like--such as rampant venereal disease, and then abortion to eliminate the "hazard" of pregnancy in prostitutes. That denies the sacredness of life, so you next get euthanasia, and then the "law" dictating who gets dibs on medical care. And dictating how many kids you can have. Not far from that is routine political murder, as in China (and perhaps the deep-state here) today. Followed by genocide in Russia in the 1930s, Germany in the 1940s, and of course China in the 1960s and today.
Extra-marital nookie is a major weapon in the arsenal of totalitarians because it undermines the main resistance to dictatorship, which is the family.
Besides legalizing prostitution and persecuting religion, all socialists seem to create coed youth groups and then order the kids to go on multi-day nature hikes with no separation of the sexes for sleeping, washing or bathrooms. The Commies in Russia and China, and the Nazis in Germany did this. The kids of course would screw around and get drawn away from their families toward this brave new world of the State.
We can't go down that path. It leads to hell in this life and the next.
That's been legal and widespread (no pun intended) for at least 50 years.
Excellent post, well thought out and clearly stated. You get it, FRiend. :^)
Anytime we wonder, should we or shouldn’t we? we need look no farther than the original Ten Commandments. After all is said & done, that’s where the legal code, upon which Western Civilization was built, comes from.
