    surprised to discover that legal prostitution would not be included in their weekend of adventure. It is a common mistake for people who are not from the city to think that prostitution is a legal act.

Lynn Comella, a professor at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, describes prostitution…

    A person does own their body and the labor that they can produce with it. I feel that prostitution is no different as if I hired somebody to work on my car or paint my house.

Whoever participates in this process knows what they are doing as well as what is required from them before the work takes place. They are not under duress and can refuse a job, the same as any other profession or service can tell you no. There…

    Prostitution: Put on The Red Light for Legalization The “world’s oldest profession,” prostitution, continues to thrive. There is mounting evidence that prostitution is not a victimless crime, but rather, a serious human rights issue and a vehicle for maintaining inequality between men and women (Post, 2011). Despite all the evidence available, there is little or no effort by individual states to protect the women that are often in the “profession” against their will. Given that the…
