My basic argument for legalizing prostitution is safety. If we where to legalize it not only would we save the workers from a harsh environment i.e. Pimps, rapes and killings/beatings but also health wise they could get insurance and physicals. All I am saying is make it legal and an actual business with rules and regulations such as the age being 18 or older, physical examinations every other week and above all the mandatory use of protection. The cost of this change I believe will fall on those wanting to open said business and the government.
First of all, who is going to pay for the regulation of this system, the American tax payers and the Government. Getting regular examinations would not solve the problem of spreading STDs, it would actually really do nothing. Providing health insurance for the workers wouldn't really, make things safer. The plan also said that it would save workers from dealing with Pimps, unfortunately this is not true. Even in a business environment thing a Pimp is still going to be in control. Therefore things are just fine the way they are.
