We should Legalize prostitution

I would like you for posting this topic aand look forward to a good debate. Yes it's true prostitutes don't go to police because they'll be arrested, yes they haave bad lives, but would legalisiing it really change much? My first point is: Prostitution isn't right. I'm not religious, I just have some common sense. People think a woman should be able to do what they want with their bodies. But 9 times out of 10, it's not choice. Alot of women are forced to prostitute to scrap a living, others are forced by boyfriends or by pimps to repay a debt. Once a prostitute is in the business, she has no way out. As you said, she can't turn to the police, nor can she try and run away. We would also have to redefine rape. If a woman is raped in a park, but the man leaves a 100 dollars, he could merely say he was paying for her services and get off free. Secondly: Regulating it would be very difficult. You say that there will be ID cards, and no use for minors, weekly check-ups, free contraceptives and only use in the evenings. I have flaws with each one of these ID cards - One of the most forged things in the worlds, a fake could be made, sold to a pimp and he has a woman he's forcing into the sex trade. And you say this would prevent minors from working in Brothels. Sorry, birth certs are also highly copied documents. No use for minors - Like alchohol, minors are somehow going to get in. Whether its forged documents like above, bribes or because they know someone, minors are always going to be able to use the services. Weekly check-ups - Yes, we need to check for STD's, but when one is found, and a woman is out of business for a month or two, you think a pimp is going to see himself lose all of that profit? Nope he ain't. he's going to force her to work. Free contraceptives - This would be vital, but lets remember, condoms have a 97% success rate, and the women would have to be educated on how to take the pill, otherwise it has a high failure rate. Only use in the evenings - This will be corrupted. You could say only open past 8, then they'll start opening at 7 and you'll push it back to 7 and so on until this has a minimum if no bearing on brothels. Thirdly, it wouldn't solve any problems prostitutes face in the phillipines. If anything, it will worsen them, because pimps are going to think they can push women on the street legally. More so, they're going to get enough confidence to push younger and younger women. The Phillipines will be known as a place with prostitution legalized, and tourists will flock thier, and get it cheap as possible through side alley deals. This will probably attract even more pedophiles or make more sex-tourists 'experiment' with younger women. The common solutuion to a problem is to ban it or legalizze it, but it's not either. Its simply improving you're country until people are smart enogu hto know ' I shoudn't be doing this, theres a sea of oppurtunity around me'. If the phillipines focuses on looking after the people, the people will look after themselves. In conclusuion, It's wrong for a man to force woman into the sex trade and say its legal, there are too many flaws in regulation and it woudn't solve the problems prostitutes face.
