Could Prostitution Be Next to Be Decriminalized?

Marijuana has gone mainstream, casino gambling is everywhere and sports wagering is spreading. Could prostitution be next?

Lawmakers across the country are beginning to reconsider how to handle prostitution, as calls for decriminalization are slowly gaining momentum.

Decriminalization bills have been introduced in Maine and Massachusetts; a similar bill is expected to be introduced to the City Council in Washington D.C. in June; and lawmakers in Rhode Island held hearings in April on a proposal to study the impact of decriminalizing prostitution.

New York may be next: Some Democratic lawmakers are about to propose a comprehensive decriminalization bill that would eliminate penalties for both women and men engaged in prostitution, as well as the johns whom they service.

How can the shit be legal at one spot in the same damn country for decades and illegal at others.

Going to visit a prostitute should be encouraged. Especially to some of these weirdos

Why not...I mean, come on..why are we acting like dating apps ain't a sex catalog?

there's always been a way to tax it. Just take a look at how it's done in other countries or here in Nevada.

cant stop wont stop. regulate it. get rid of pimps and let folks run their own business/body. required sti/drug testing. could cut down on unsafe/blackmarket activities. Sex trafficking drops, less money/focus on prison. Use brothel tax to fund education/social programs?

In the bible belt and Utah that shit will never pass or will be long after every place else passes the bill

 

[Koltrain]

I hear what you saying but decriminalizing or totally legalizing it is never going to stop all those other things you said. Some of it will drop but not by much. Shit don't work like that. It's good wishful thinking though.

The bold is really not going to happen especially at the level they say it will when they are trying to pass the law. Once the law is passed those taxes will be used for some so called more pressing needs.

Long as the women aren’t being forced to do it and they’re being safe. I don’t see a problem with it being legalized.

there's nothing inherently evil about prostitution. The problem is when it's criminalized it leads to evil shit happening.

It’s definitely an evil; a sex addiction, lowering standards, adultery, diseases, selfish, loveless etc. It’s immoral and harmful.
