Legalizating Prostitution There are 4 main reasons to legalize prostitution. The ability to place rules on who can be in that position. The ability to require exams to cut down the diseases being transferred around. The ability to limit locations the business can practice. The ability to taxing of money transfers we cant tax right now. We want to be able to limit who can be prostitutes. This can make it so teens can not get into these positions, which can lower teen pregnancy and close down under age sex slave camps. There are many of these all of the United States. If we can stop under age children from being taken advantage of, we may be able to get them in college instead. If children are committing illegal acts, they are not only less likely to go to school, but also more likely to go to prison in their future, costing taxpayers more money in the long run. Medical exams are important, and people who are in illegal fields of work are less likely to get medical exams as often. If prostitutes are required to get examined every month or every few months, then we can cut down on how much diseases get transferred between people. With this we could also require certain medical insurance requirements by the people managing the prostitutes. With legalizing prostitution we can limit where these types of businesses can exist. Not only that, we can require that their clients stay within their building for such transactions. Keeping prostitutes off of the street. Another important part of that is so that we can monitor what is going on to keep prostitutes from being beaten or murdered. Though we may not agree with them selling their bodies for sex, everyone agrees they should not be physically abused. The biggest thing with all illegal activities is that they are not being taxed at all. One of the biggest reasons to legalize many things is because of the money transfer. When money is spent on these types of transactions, it is not being taxed. Though in some cities this would only be a minor boost in budget, it ads up immensely over time. Bigger cities like Chicago, LA, and New York could make millions off of legalizing prostitution. Even if we only legalized it in bigger cities, it would help greatly for city budgets, and take some of the burden off of most taxpayers. The pornography industry is one of the biggest industries in the world, and if they are growing right now while the economy is having problems, you know that prostitution has to be growing some too. They are both in the sex services industry. One of the key reasons not to legalize it, is that legalizing it is saying that it is okay to do. The problem is prostitution is one of the oldest known professions in the world. Farming being one of the extremely few professions that can even compare to it. If it has existed for this long, it is not going away any time soon. We spend so much in taxes for police to catch prostitutes, to put them through the court system, and hold them in jail. Doing all this cost far more money than regulating it, and that is ignoring any income the city can get back from it. Though I am definitely someone who is morally against the act of prostitution, I can't debate the fact that it has been around for a long time, and is not going away any time soon. The least that we can do is regulate it, make it safer for the people in that field of business, their clients, and collect taxes from it like every other business out there.
