I believe that prostitution is morally wrong, harmful and very degrading. On the other hand I am opposed to the government having the power to decide its legal state, primarily because they don't feel we are intelligent enough to make our own decisions. I propose that prostitution should be granted legalization. Every civilization in the world has some form of prostitutes working in their society. If it affects so many people how can we turn our heads, arrest people, slam the prison door and think that we have solved the problem. It has proved to go on whether their government condoned the practice or not. If we cannot stop this phenomenon why not make it legal to extract taxes and better assist the prostitutes and their clients?

Currently in the United States, except for places in Nevada, prostution, the act of providing sex for money is illegal. When people have a job that is against the law they are no longer contributing

to the government taxes. Their act is banned so there is not a way to regulate their money, while they still enjoy the benefits of this country without the added burden. Also, the prostitutes do not get medical attention they desperately need.

The feminists from the Sexual Equality First approach believe that "until women are equal members of society, free choice is essentially illusionary." They view our society one who limits women because of the double standard of male sexual dominance and gender inequality. To sum it all up "women's equality, sexualize and otherwise, cannot be achieved as long as prostitution continues to exist." I don't believe that prostitution is a main factor in creating equality in both sexes. There are way too many issues besides prostitution, such as pornography, the idolizing of women's bodies, unequal pay and much more to also deal with before we can really make a difference in closing the gender gap.

If prostitution is made legal it should be guided under strict regulations. The prostitutes would be issued a business license for giving their services, as most in this country need a license to legally sell anything. In order to renew it each month, they would have to go to one of the specified clinics to get checked out for sexual transmitted diseases and for HIV. If the prostitutes were to get caught without their license or if theirs was expired when they were giving their services there would be a 2,000 fine.
