Would be safer, cleaner and reduce crime.... If porn is legal why isn't prostitution? I wouldn't do it personally but you know.... Look at Amsterdam? It hasn't fallen apart because prostitution is legal ..

Legalization would make sex workers safer, I'm for it.

Yes, because then it can be controled and taxed. Also the individuals that will sell there bodies will be given mandatory std tests like they do in Las Vegas so it will be a safter endeavor of the workers as they will gain proper treatment. They may even have access to healthcare and benefits and their lives can be made whole. Also when you make it legal, you take away the desire for criminal activity, and you make it harder for youth to be used as sex workers since they need to be registered

It happens anyway- resources are wasted trying to lock up prostitutes that could be used to fund keeping real criminals off the streets, regulating it would make it safer for all the participants, could potentially knock out the pimp figure and having the trade taxed!! That could fund so many, many things for the community. Would I ever have sex for money? No. Would I want my daughter to? No. Would I associate with participants of such activities? No. But that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It's the oldest known trade in the world, it's recession proof and it will happen wether you agree with it or not. Why not offer safety and protection for the public and the sex workers? 

Nothing wrong with it totally cool and ladies should be able to do what they want with their bodies.

The FBI has made a team HSKI (highway serial killer Initiative) that deals strictly with truckers dropping prostitutes bodies allover the US and it's borders. Legalizing it would help so much in cases where girls disappear and never be found. never reported.But it would be a start, and a good one.

Having been an escort I think it should. Legalizing it would make it way safer. 

Living in Colorado with legal marijuana, the state has made so much money just from taxes. The same would be from prostitution. If it's something people will do regardless of the legality of it, why not let the state get something out of it? Not to mention making it much safer for both parties involved! 

I can't believe prostitution is still a CRIME. It's criminal for me to have sex one way but not another? Ok.

There will always be prostitutes, I think it should be better managed with brothels and std/sti testing and registering mandatory and punishable if not followed. Currently Canada has no laws against prostitution, but I do know edmonton does surveys every year to register prostitutes in case they go missing/ are killed, from what I read 100% of the women approached have been cooperative with giving the information, so I don't think it would be stretch to test them regularly either for their health and their customers health.
