    Should prostitution be legalised?

    A bill has been proposed in Scotland to decriminalise prostitution, based on a 2003 New Zealand Law which has been deemed a success and backed by the World Health Organisation.


    Opinions please.

    You will never stop it. If we’re never going to stop it, let’s manage it better and look at the health and welfare of people in that "profession.”

    Morally, I may have a problem with it but legally I see no reason why the government has any business poking their nose into adults personal lives. It should be illegal for minors though.

    Sure, let's make it 'okay' for women to degrade themselves. Servicing all those high class men will no doubt help their low self esteem. Also, the government along with the WHO, will be able to pat themselves on the back, by letting the public know how 'helpful' they are to the ladies on the night shift. They (mostly men) will be keeping the ladies safe and providing some health care. What a great group of heroic men!

    Worth pointing out that when prostitution was decriminalised in New Zealand the prime minister was Helen Clark.

    Wow.

    Well, that's a whole new can of worms.  Certainly, as a legal profession, and likely "self-employed", it would be a headache for tax purposes here in the state.  If restaurant personnel have to pay taxes on some pre-determined gratuity amount, would the prostitutes need to pay taxes on some preconceived income amount as well?   Would they have to post health certificates, be bonded, establish a union, post a "menu"?

    No,but decriminalized ..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

    No.

    If it ever is then dam i'm taking out a loan !

    I'm afraid of what it might do to the "working girl". On one hand, legalized prostitution would just about garuntee your personal safety. Kind of like a dog having all of it's shots. Legalizing it will run your average plane Janes out of a job. These girls are working for a reason...

    @mcm...Imagine the poor woman who believes that THAT is her only talent and she cannot figure out another way to pay her rent. Sad indeed.
