In theory, having the government legalize and then regulate prostitution would make it safer. But you would have to routinely do testing upon prostitutes to ensure that they had not contracted any diseases every week for such safety measures to be effective. Medical bills such as those would add up considerably for every individual prostitute. Could you imagine the health plans and the costs of workers compensation alone that would follow a practice such as that? The altogether costs and claims would be atranomical.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
*gasp* You mean we would have to have people regularly tested for STDs in our local clinics and hospitals? We should be doing that already!
. . . whenever any government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such forms as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. |
