Taxes & someplace prostitution is legal.
I honestly didn't think taxes made it illegal. Thank you for letting me know
Taxes & someplace prostitution is legal.
instead of criticizing abortion, criticize women who open their legs on a regular basis "because its their body"
I prefer prostitution over loose women, cuz at least prostitutes do it because they need to, not because they want to. Slutty is the real prostitution imo.
if they were more careful about such things, they wouldnt need abortion in the first place!!
This right here
I was half-joking when I made that comment.
OT: OP, in my opinion, these are one of those things where cons are brought up to reinforce a morality. I can have a morality, and to prove my morality is the correct the way, I can state the consequences that will manifests in absence of my morality. Does that mean all those cons are the reason why I abhor the opposing ideal/action? No it doesn't. They exist for argument and nothing more. I cannot want to partake in something because it just doesn't "feel right", but that won't get me anywhere in an argument.
Now tell me. How many practical systems can you name that don't have any cons to it Sometimes the cons can far outweigh any pros. You can chalk it up to luck if you wish. Deep down though, the person may know he was simply defending his idea of right and wrong against a system. In the end, those cons are not really the "why". I hope you see my point.
Of course, I'm not saying this is correct. Because well, those consequences can be the reason why someone dreads a particular course of action.
Just something to consider.![]()
It's only illegal in certain areas. The only reason it is illegal in the states is because of the idea that it leads to a poorer society.
You could apply the same argument that you make to drugs. It's your own body right? Places that banned prostitution, drugs etc... deemed them a poor influence on society and decided to try and remove them.
Whats next? Fat people are unsightly, so if you are over 300 lbs you won't be allowed outside?

What? That's two completely different things.You can't compare that. You are using
a false analogy by comparing two things that aren't similar.
How are they different?
Both are choices that are made about the womans body. Both are made by the woman. Both concern her body. Both involve a 2nd party. (although in abortion it concerns a THIRD party, aka the child being "terminated", who doesnt have a choice yay or nay)
Both are choices concerning ***. Abortion concerning the after effects. Prostitution concerning the current effects.
The biggest differences is, in one you are getting paid to have ***, and the other you are paying to remove a product of ***(the child). Both you get to choose by a case by case basis.
Its like compareing oranges and tangerines. Clear differences, but ultimately just about the same.
At the very least if you are gonna make a comment like yours say WHAT those huge differences are.
To the thread. By the logic used in abortion, most of it can be applied to prostitution. So technically both should be allowed.
I do not support prostitution, and think it is a bit despicable. But I think this is a case, where it is completely the womans choice. I would only say there should be laws that limit where a prostitute can seek buisness(aka make it where they cant go to a play ground, or other places where it is completely inappropriate.)
I do not support abortion, unless in the case of a life threatening situation.(even then I dont really support it.)
I emphathize with the womans choice arguement, but in my opinion, that does not justify physically ending a life, just to "fix" a mistake.
The only way I could even begin to tolerate it, is if in EVERY CASE, the woman was shown and made fully aware of just what they are chooseing to let happen. That they are chooseing to allow a human life to be ended. Not a cancer removed or terminated. Not a sub human parasite. But what it IS. A human child. If it is going to be killed, then it at least deserves to die, and treated with dignity. I do not hate those who choose abortion. Just their action. And potentially their mentality and thoughts.
And I appolgise for getting off topic here. If you wish to reply to my off topic comments do so via pm, or posting on my profile. Do not reply to the off topic parts in this thread.
So basically the arguement "its a womans body, so its her choice" is 100% applicable to prostitution as well. In my opinion.
Have a great day guys(and gals). Next chapter going to be good!
