Quote:
While prostitutes consent, often they are humiliated in the process as they are often drug addicts.
How is that basis for throwing someone in jail?
Quote:
Laws against prostitution protects the embattled woman and punishes the men who take advantage of their 'services'.
You've got it backwards. If prostituion were legal everywhere like it is in Nevada, whorehouses would be regularly run businesses with rules, security and police backup(if someone got out of hand or something).
Quote:
They should impound the cars of johns and have them registered as sex offenders.
Why because they committed a non-violent sex act that your religion doesn't agree with?

How is it stereotyping, I thought it was widely accepted in Muslim cultures women should be covered and not allowed to attend school?

It's also the choice of a suicide victim to take their own lives.
Suicide is a little more permanent than prostitution.

Suicide should be legal for adults as well IMO.

Like with drugs, nearly all of the harms attributed to prostitution are a direct cause of the prohibition against it.
How is it illegal for two adults to agree to exchange a sum of money for sex? Is this not done, in a less business-like and direct manner, all across America every night?
How is it illegal to sell something which is perfectly legal to give away for free?
Any time there is a large market for something, and there are willing sellers and willing buyers, all attempts to shut down this market will be futile and self-defeating.

The illegality of prostitution is a big red flag to show everyone that our laws are based on Christian morals. Everyone needs to recognize that.

I partially agree with you. What about the people who have a really bad day and make a rash decision to kill themselves? Should their friends and family be able to at least delay the action to give the person more time to think about it?

Which isn't so bad when we're talking about crimes with victims like robbery, murder, rape, burglary, arson, vandalism, drunk driving, etc.
These are the laws our police should focus on enforcing.
Laws against drugs, gambling, prostitution, sodomy, homosexuality, pornography, etc....
These are victimless crimes. They are only examples of the christian majority (and anyone who agrees with them) in this country ignoring the idea of liberty and using democracy to force their morality on the minority.
