C: What are the pro/cons to legalizing regulated prostitution?
|
A: Yes. It's an activity with some degree of danger/risk involved, but I don't see that as sufficient justification for a ban.
B: I have to answer this two ways. Yes, legalizing prostitution is morally acceptable on that basis. No, legal prostitution is not morally acceptable on that basis. I approve of the legalization, but not of the activity.
(Oddly enough, you won't find me applying that reasoning to abortion.)
C: Pros: People of the Law concerned with this practice will be freed up to work in other areas which may be in need of help. Increased personal freedom.
Cons: Most likely an increase in this often dangerous, virtually always immoral act. It might become more socially acceptable.
