Uh oh, an appeal to "society". Who knows what that means?
Venereal disease ceases to be a problem when the sexual activity takes place in a business where regular weekly health checkups are performed on the workers.
Do you believe it is in society's best interest to have women selling their bodies on the street?
No allowing prostitutes to perform their business on the street should not be allowed for the same reasons that most business are not allowed to operate on the street. Prostitutes should be licensed, regulated, and their place of business controlled by the same zoning regulations that cover all businesses.
Do you think that the only women who engage in prostitution are ones who decide to by their own free choice? No, prostitution is a dark and violent business, and has no place in a just society. It is not a victimless crime.
When prostitution is legalized criminals no longer control the business and prostitutes are able to choose their employer just like any other business. Do you really think a legal business would try to hold an employee against their will? The only reaon that any prostitutes are victims is because attempting to regulate morality creates a situation here pimps are empowered to control prostitutes.
