Prostitution Should Be Illegal

Sinful, sexist, demeaning, cruel, and abusive, these are the words that have been used to describe the connotation of the word, prostitution. Prostitution is an occupation that requires sexual acts or services to be provided in the trade of money. This occupation has been illegalized in the United States throughout all 49 states, excluding Nevada. However, the action of legalizing the occupation, is a controversial topic. Many advocates for prostitution declare it as a way of sexual liberation for women, as well as, a way to secure equal rights and welfare for prostitutes.

In the article, “Bring Back Flogging” by Jeff Jacoby states that flogging should be brought back for criminals instead of putting them in prisons. The United States imprisons more people than any other country. Crime is getting out of control and the crime rate is a 250 percent increased since 1980.

Studies show that there are a slew of health issues that are associated with working in a maquiladora. According to Inside Mexico’s Maquiladoras: Manufacturing Health Disparities by Stephanie Navarro pregnancy is one of the top issues for maquiladora workers. The Mexican labor law mandates that pregnant women are paid for maternity leave, but it’s been found that employers actually coerce the workers into resigning so they don’t have to pay. Some employers take it a step further to ensure that employees don’t get pregnant at all.

Both men and women are willingly and forcefully engaged into the industry of sex and prostitution. It is most common for young teenage girls to be involved into this industry rather than a male or an older woman. In my opinion, prostitution is an immoral transaction, even if it has been around for thousands of years. Prostitution destroys the society because there is a risk of transmitting STD, demoralizes freedom to exercise human rights and ignores religious teachings.

Prostitutes who are registered also have to take blood tests every month to screen for diseases like HIV/AIDS. In Nevada, not one of the licensed prostitutes has tested positive for AIDS. The health benefits of legalizing and regulating prostitution are obvious and instead of trying to abolish prostitution, the health and safety of those who enter it willingly, should be of the utmost importance when countries choose to treat all prostitution as criminal behaviour. Attempts to eliminate prostitution have not been successful so far so it is time to recognize it and try to regulate it as

Not only are the outcomes of these felon disenfranchisement laws racist, but they are also classist. It is not news to many that the criminal justice system of the U.S. has many loopholes for rich people to pay their way out of jail time. The wealthy can afford top lawyers, pay bail, pay fines, and live in neighborhoods less frequently patrolled by the police. Defense lawyers for felony crimes can cost anywhere from $1000 to $2500 a day, and bail and fines are not on a sliding scale based off of income (NOLO, 2010). For an impoverished individual making only $1500 a month, the financial obstacles to fighting a winnable court case make conviction nearly inevitable.

Half of those women will

The lack of resources to extract DNA is continuing to effect the justice system. The backlogs of rape kits throughout the United States has become an overwhelming number while the crime labs have been doing very little to compensate for these changes. Not only does the inefficiency of DNA analysis effect rape kits, rapes effect thousands of innocent humans every year. It is an ongoing cycle and very little is being done to stop it. Although hard to help with the rates of crime, specifically rapes, there is something that can be done with bring these sexual offenders to justice.

Close to $1,000,000,000 is used on drugs and alcohol, out of the $1,000,000,000,000,000 we spend on welfare. Since 2008 the welfare system has increased an extreme amount, we need to decrease this with one solution. Background check and drug testing are a necessary part of the welfare system due to using the taxpayers money.

If buying sex becomes an illegal activity, less individuals will feel inclined to buy it. Also, it is a known fact that prostitutes are constantly exposed to physical, verbal, and emotional abuse from their pimps, so the passing of this Bill would hopefully make sex workers feel empowered to come forward and report the abusive behaviour they are always
