Legalizing Prostitution
Wendy slides into a nice pair of slacks, and a long sleeved button down blouse. She carefully applies her make up and curls her hair. She does not portray a prostitute, but instead, a high class businesswoman. She kisses her daughters goodbye and tells them to keep the doors locked. She is a typical woman going to work at night. She walks into one of the more classy hotels and seats herself at an expensive bar. Soon enough, a man comes to her and asks her if she would like to accompany him back to his room. Wendy accepts the offer, and three hours later she comes home with enough money to pay the rent and feed her children for the entire month. She allows the men to come to her. She does not solicit herself. Many prostitutes do not have the patience to wait around, so they work corners and hourly motels.

They are tested once a week for both of the non-desirable traits. According to the Cherry Patch Ranch (a whore house in Nevada) workers, the prostitutes work four days in a row, and then drive back into the city for three days off. Legal prostitution is a clean and respected profession in Las Vegas. Why is it unacceptable in every other city in the United States? Prostitution has been around for centuries. Records show that it was one of the earliest jobs that women held. Now, centuries later, there are still prostitutes. It is different now though. There are AIDS, herpes, warts, and other types of genital or sexually transmitted diseases going around. According to a timeline of prostitution, it appears that legally, or illegally, prostitution will take place. We, as a community, need to look at safety issues. There are prostitutes that walk the streets, and throw themselves out there to get a few dollars for drugs, which may be injected by a used needle.
