If my subdivision had the rule that no one can allow their yard to grow over 4 inches, do I not violate the rights of the other residents by breaking that law? States have the same type of laws. Prostitution is one of them. The majority of my state views prostitution as a detriment to neighborhoods, towns, cities, and ultimately society. Therefore it is outlawed. If someone breaks that law in my neighbor hood, my right to reside in a community with similar standards has been violated. The prostitute has violated a law that she had agreed to abide by by choosing to reside in this state.

Where would one look for this "right"?

I'll bet if you give it some thought you might be able to come up with a way for people to come to a non-violent solution to your problem.

So then you are not referring to the basic human rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness being violated, you are referring to man-made laws. With that I can't argue because I am a firm believer in every community having the option to, by vote, enact standards and laws and that we are free to either abide by them or live elsewhere. However, that still does not address the basic premise of the question I posed to you asking you how prostitution, in the case I put forth, would violate your basic human rights.
