DDO Official Tournament 2: That prostitution should be legalised

1st I believe we should define Prostitution- the act or practice of engaging in sexual intercourse for money. http://dictionary.reference.com.... Prostitution will still happenCurrently in the U.S. prositution is illegal. However this is where you"re wrong, prostitutes are brought in from over seas they"re either kidnapped or they are promised a better life if they make X amount of money. http://www.wsfa.com..., ____Human smuggling results in sex traffickingUS DOS 06. US Dept. of State, "Fact Sheet: Distinctions Between Human Smuggling and Human Trafficking 2006" U.S Dept of State Diplomacy in Action, January 1, 2006http://www.state.gov...Human smuggling is the facilitation, transportation, attempted transportation or illegal entry of a person(s) across an international border, in violation of one or more countries laws, either clandestinely or through deception, such as the use of fraudulent documents. Often, human smuggling is conducted in order to obtain a financial or other material benefit for the smuggler, although financial gain or material benefit are not necessarily elements of the crime. For instance, sometimes people engage in smuggling to reunite their families. Human smuggling is generally with the consent of the person(s) being smuggled, who often pay large sums of money. The vast majority of people who are assisted in illegally entering the United States are smuggled, rather than trafficked. Smuggled persons may become victims of other crimes. In addition to being subjected to unsafe conditions on the smuggling journeys, smuggled aliens may be subjected to physical and sexual violence. Frequently, at the end of the journey, smuggled aliens are held hostage until their debt is paid off by family members or others. It is also possible that a person being smuggled may at any point become a trafficking victim.____Sex trafficking is the strongest promoter of prostitution Enriquez, 1999 (Jean, Director of the Coalition Against the Trafficking of Women in the Asia Pacific, November, "Filipinas in Prostitution around U.S. Military Bases in Korea: A Recurring Nightmare", http://www.catw-ap.org...)CATW asserts that trafficking in women is inseparable with the issue of prostitution. The gender-based nature of trafficking exposes itself as serving the purpose of ensuring the steady supply of women to areas where men demand sexual services. We deplore trafficking and prostitution as violations of women"s human rights. We cannot consider it work, because among others, it compels women to perform acts that denigrates their person " their integrity as human beings. They receive no assistance from either the U.S. or Philippine government. Economically, "working in the clubs" meant irregular earnings and slavery, as many of them would be withheld of their salaries or are fined for any "misconduct". The women were abused physically, psychologically and emotionally. Some were murdered.. In Korea, the Philippines and elsewhere, the women are viewed as commodities to be bought, and being Asians, they are certainly perceived as less than human.____Human trafficking cause HIV is one of the most significant issues of our timeStein 2010 , professor at Princeton. Stein, Richard A. (2010) "HIV: The Hidden Face of Human Trafficking," World Medical & Health Policy: Vol. 2: Iss. 1, Article 7.\Human trafficking emerges as one of the most significant social, legal, medical, and public health crises of our time. A relatively under-explored facet of human trafficking is the victim' risk to become infected with HIV and other sexually transmitted pathogens. Several studies reported that significant percentages of trafficking victims are HIV-positive. In addition, some of the HIV-positive victims are co-infected with hepatitis B, tuberculosis, or syphilis. The large numbers of clients, together with the unprotected sexual relationships that many trafficking victims are forced to have, greatly heighten their risk to become infected. Furthermore, just like trafficking, HIV represents a taboo topic in many societies worldwide, and the marginalization of rescued trafficking victims by families and society significantly compounds their suffering and increases their susceptibility for further abuse. The interface between human trafficking and HIV represents an important area that needs to be explored in future studies, and should receive increased attention from public health officials.____AIDs leads to extinction of the human race.Ho 03 (Mae-Wang Ho, author, written April 3rd, 2003, http://www.i-sis.org.uk..., accessed October 15th, 2012, AL)George Bush has taken Europe to the World Trade Organisation over Europe"s de facto moratorium on GM imports. In the week of the G8 summit in Evian, France, Bush blasted Europe for perpetuating starvation in Africa by blocking US food aid with anti-GM policies, and announced his pledge of $15bn to combat AIDS globally, especially in Africa. The UN Population Division reported earlier this year that by 2050, the population of the hardest hit nations will have risen by 400 million less than previously estimated because of AIDS. "This estimate could be the first sign that HIV-1 will cause extinction of human beings in this millennium unless an effective AIDS vaccine is developed," said a commentary by Veljko Veljkovic and colleagues in the Lancet, published in February. SafteyMy opponent brings up that Prostitutes aren"t safe, because they aren"t monitored by the federal government. That is false a strong private sector is better than the public sector so therefore if legalized (which it shouldn"t be) a private sector should be were prostitution is legal. http://www.urban.org...I would like my opponent to bring up sources for his evidense until then I can't view it as creditable. I believe that instead of prostitution being legal that the government stomp it out. (This also goes with point one.) http://www.youtube.com...I agree that we need to protect prostitutes, but by rolling over and legalizing it will tell people that if you make something a problem then the government will leaglize it.
