Actually, prostitution was made illegal in the US towards the end of the 19th Century as a means of preventing women from being forced into the profession against their wills. Many claim it's just a remnant of Puritanism but those are the ones who haven't done their research.
Thanks for the info.

No, the OFFICIAL reason was to prevent the spread of deadly diseases such as syphlis and gonorhea, but the outrage didn't begin until it changed from being a rural problem to an urban problem. And I believe for a minute that the puritan laws didn't affect it becoming illegal. It came along the lines of prohibition. The "Government knows best".
