Look up Penn and Teller's Bulls#it on the matter of prostitution. Simply put, if you legalize it, you can regulate it, control it, minimize it, make it safer and healthier.
Where and when was prostitution FIRST legalized in the United States?
In parts of Nevada there are fully legal brothels. The ladies of the house receive regular checkups. Look it up, its called the bunny ranch.
Apparently, you misinterpreted my statement. Look at the Penn and Teller Bulls#it show on the topic. Do not link it here, as it is NSFW at all.
And the FIRST place and time for legalized prostitution in the U.S. was Nashville, Tennessee, during the occupation of the Northern Aggressors, otherwise known as the "Civil" War. It was done by the Northern General to control Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
