    …if you go to Pahrump, NV where prostitution is legal, those women are independent contractors who set their own prices and can turn anyone that they don’t feel comfortable with serving away. Additionally, clients must use protection AND the women have police on a panic button if anyone gets out of hand.

    Compare that to the women who prostitute themselves illegally and are subjected to all the dangers of rape, abuse, and murder.

    I used to think like you. While I was researching a paper I was writing (arguing against the legalization of prostitution mind you), I ended up at a completely different conclusion. My conclusion did not support my thesis and I wrote it that way.

    Open your mind a bit, and see that legalization protects EVERYONE (except prudes I guess)

      Wonder what the response time is on that button press? Would have thought they would employ bouncers on-site to handle that kind of thing.
