92. Well I would like to make a response in support of prostitution

First of all there is a difference between what consenting adults do and what a child is compelled to do. Of course, NO ONE condones forcing anyone to engage in sexual activity whether it be an child or an adult. The laws are clear on that. But I have yet to hear any rational reason why anyone can't do with their body or property whatever they wish to do so long as it does not harm the property or other people. So long as all parties involved are able to consent and do, what concern is it of yours or the state for that matter what they engage in?
If you believe that exchanging sex for money or any other consideration is morally wrong, I suggest that YOU not do it. But if someone else does not share that belief, then YOU should mind your own business. I find it ironic that people who argue stridently for the decriminalization of marijuana, become indignant when it's suggested that prostitution should be decriminalized or legalized. ( I'm for the former over the latter) These laws serve only as easy "hush money" from the unfortunate "johns" and female providers who get caught in police sting operations. Rather than to fight these charges, they find it easier to take a plea and pay a fine, despite the fact that the charge is a misdemeanor in the first place. All this amounts to is law enforcement acting as the arm of the church; a clear violation of the separation of church and state. These laws and their enforcement is not only antithetical to freedom they're also counterproductive.
