It's the oldest profession in the world they say, prostitution. In some countries it totally legal. In other countries (mostly western and especially the United States except for Reno) it is illegal.
The question is, under the United States Constitution, including all of the Amendments is it Constitutional or Unconstitutional for one to lease/rent their body out for the sexual pleasure of another?
Since this is stupid post day, why not.
A person owns there body, it is their innate property. Prostitution should be legal, taxed, and unionized.
have to say i agree, legal and taxed, that is. if the prostitutes want a union, then that's fine too.
Some people need to read the Constitution. It isn't a Constitutional issue. It's a state issue. That's why it's legal in Nevada and not legal in Illinois.
I don't think the Constitution legalizes abortion. It may be a woman's body, but that doesn't mean she has the legal right to sell herself for sex. We don't, and shouldn't have the right to do whatever we want to with our bodies. Part of law is regulating choices to ensure that good ones are made and bad ones are punished.
I think there could be a lot of self-benefit in unionization including getting rid of pimps essentially and obtaining fair wages. We could in general have a more healthy industry under which everyone makes better money (well I guess except the Johns, right?). You have mandated testing and regulations on houses, you can remove women from the often abusive relationship of hooker and pimp. I mean, you'll never get rid of street walking, but if you go to a union endorsed and supported whore house you're probably at least promoting the well being of whores more so than hiring one off the streets.
In the end, prostitution in any form will never go away and it's not really in and off itself a "crime" (where's the victim?). So since that seems to be the case, might as well allow it and regulate it to ensure proper working conditions and wages.
oh, i agree. but the prostitutes would have to be the ones to vote themselves a union.
Who is the government to tell ME that I cant have sexual intercourse with someone else for money? It has nothing to do with right or wrong good or bad it has to do with whether you should be allowed to or not. The government can tell you not to kill someone because thats someone else, but the government can't tell you you cant sell yourself. Because thats you.
Hmm, that sounds like my free the polygamist protest. What right does this government have to tell me I cannot marry the two women I love and share my life with?
As far as sell yourself, every worker does that. Compare to two boxers or a field of football players selling their bodies for a living.

Dealing with the increased possibility of getting HIV isn't punishment?

For one, sexual intercourse is not something to be sold. With it comes the risk of pregnancy. What happens when a prostitute gets pregnant? What if a prostitute has a disease but does not state that and winds up infecting people for cash? It's not a good "business" and there is no good with it being legalized. Sex is not something that should be bought or sold.
The question is, under the United States Constitution, .
