I wanted to add to what I said. The point is that the legalization of prostitution makes a statement, it is not neutral. It is a direct assault on standards of sexual decency that the majority has every right to maintain.

Why? I don't see the point. Lots of countries (many Catholic countries in Latin America) have legal prostitution. Sex is not regarded in the same puritanical manner there. Primarily because the teachings of St. Augustine were not as widely accepted in the Spanish sub continent as they were in Northern Europe. Our views regarding sex are a primarily Anglo-Saxon derivative. History shows that this particular stand or viewpoint is quite hypocritical, and very detrimental to people in various situations (i.e. lives have been ruined because a hypocritical society has caused practitioners to be arrested...even as some of the arresting officers and sentencing judges solicited the very women/men before them).
