The Government Should Force Female Murderers to be State Prostitutes

C1-Less Innocent Rapes: I have 3 responses for this contention Response 1: RAPE I agree with my opponent that rape is bad. What's ironic however is my opponent simply suggest legalized government supported rape over non government supported rape. In a sense it's like saying smoking crack is bad unless the crack you are smoking is provided by a funded and supported government manufacturer. But viewers I ask you not even to look at his first contention but rather the resolution itself "The government Should Force Female Murderers to be State Prostitutes". Now look at the Synonyms for rape. Synonyms: assault, force, violate, ravish Explanation: By forcing a female entity to participate in a sexual act you are still committing rape. Response 2: ERA In a sense this method really goes against the ERA. Not only is this supporting something that has been pushed in some mainstream hip hop music, woman as objects but also this again creates and unequal gender based issue. The gender earnings ratio of women's median weekly earnings to men's is 0.95 or lower. Economically women are already in a bad position, this policy if implemented will make punishments for women far more severe then men making women also at a disadvantage in the judicial system. Also Women account for 14% of violent offenders while men of course account for 86%. Both men and women experience domestic violence, but women experience it considerably more. Next the majority of mass killings are committed by males. My point is simply that why punish the gender that is not committing a preponderance of killings? This doesn't just violate the ERA by targeting a specific gender but this method also doesn't have the imperics too justify its use. Question for opponent: Are you suggesting the government sets cost for all prostitutes or just the ones in jail? Response 3: Religion/morality This method forces individuals too commit sins. Sure they committed murder however punishing someone by forcing them to commit sins isn't moral at all let alone right. Deuteronomy23:There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel. Leviticus 19:29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. In the end Jails are for punishing people who commit crimes but not to turn them into permanent criminals are Ex-felons who are released from prison and acquire gainful employment, have the support of their love ones, and are connected to a higher power are much more likely to stay out of prison longer and in many cases never return. Providing job opportunities and supporting prisoners through rehabilitation programs will not only help them but of course provide benefits for the preponderance of society as well. Local tranquility for the areas they move into as well as economic benefits. When a ex-felon gets an occupation they become consumers and benefit the economy. The long-term psychological and physical effects of the experience are devastating. And they're likely exacerbated by the shame our culture insists on this particularly detrimental activity. A conviction is like the metaphorical scarlet letter. When people see you they see your conviction because many folks in America will never let you forget that you committed a crime. Imagine how much worse it would be for a woman to not only be known for a conviction but also known as the girl who got it in while facing incarceration. This solution proposed in the resolution is intrinsically not the right policy to be implemented in order to enforce the law. C2-Deter Murders:I will now argue that forcing female murders to become prostitutes will lower murder rates. This will be much like the death penalty. Simply put, this is the idea that if a punishment is severe enough people will be deterred from committing the act. This can be seen with the death penalty, where executions have been shown to have a deterrent effect. (2)I probably don’t have to argue that most women do not want to become state prostitutes. Whether or not they consider this worse than being sentenced to death is subjective, however, a considerable portion likely would consider becoming a state prostitute to be a worse punishment. The same way a bunch of people would rather die than be tortured, it is reasonable to assume a lot of women would rather die than be constantly forced to commit sexual acts. Response: If this would even work at such a high rate as my opponent claims then this contradicts his contention 3 even more. I already demonstrated in my response of contention 1 that the market isn't very big but if this were to even keep women from committing this action the government wouldn't benefit from this policy economically at all. It's also logical that any punishment that's insanely cruel will lower murder rates. If the government said that the punishment from stealing was Saw Torture the crime rates would of course go down, however that's not a morally correct punishment to enforce. There are certain things that distinguish the American government from like corrupt governments in the Sahel region and some sense of morality is one of them. C3-Economic Benefits: Response: If the government were to make a government brand of any product or service they could utilize the funds to essentially contribute to infrastructure development, tranquility, welfare, military funding, education, trade etc. If the government had its own state funded weed sure it would benefit economically but its the morality behind the action and how it affects other people that must be considered. Also again as I pointed out the market for male killers is considerably bigger then the market for female. Thus the government would be able to make more money at a time with male prostitution then female anyway.
