Prostitution is utterly sinful in <b>every</b> social sense. It is the cheapening of a woman's body, which should not be sold out for money. It is the fault of the woman/man if they started to prostitute themselves, and those people should get themselves a better life, if possible. The whole point of making prostitution illegal is to condemn the practice. Nobody ever thought that making it illegal would stop prostitution (similar to the war on drugs), but it would slow it down, and the government could come out openly for denouncing prostitution. What you suggest is something similar to legalizing cocaine, because legalizing it would help "protect" the people who smoke coke. Finally, it would be fault of the people engaged in prostitution if he/she received an STD or got in some other trouble. If you break the law, you should go to jail. If you have sex with someone who has AIDS, guess what? You are almost guaranteed to have AIDS as well. The lesson? Abstinence always works!
