We see the rapes. We see them crying. Such problems occur much less often where sex for money is legal. Here, in rural Nevada, for example, the state has licensed 35 brothels. The Nevada police force is an advocate for the legalization of prostitution because they have seen the difference that legalization makes.
Crime rates drop when prostitution is brought to a setting where it is monitored.
Prostitutes are forced to work through established brothels and are forbidden to work out of their homes. All prostitutes and brothels must be licensed and the brothels must provide the prostitutes with personal doctors who test all of the prostitutes for sexually transmitted diseases, and HIV tests are done on a monthly basis and condoms are mandatory. When prostitution is legalized, not only are the pimps, who are often involved in other illegal affairs illuminated, but the prostitute and the community are protected. Anti-prostitution laws are unconstitutional in their nature and deny the prostitutes what the American constitution would allow them. Although the courts in the case of Roe v. Wade were referring to the woman's right to abort her unborn fetus they inadvertently set a precedent for prostitution as well.
