Prostitution: Constitutional or Unconstitutional? You Decide

Constitutional or Unconstitutional?


  • Total voters
    34
The U.S. was founded as a Christian country, it is difficult to believe that Founders would have been agree with the Leftists Agenda - pushing of Prostitution in the American society.

Prostitution was largely legal at the beginning, in fact for the western expansion, some States made a lot of income off of it. It started becoming largely illegal later.
 
Prostitution was largely legal at the beginning,...

and was condemned or punished everywhere until Liberals and others Leftists embraced Prostitution and made it not only legal, but also admired and venerated it. If some Conservatives somewhere want to close brothels, than Leftists immediately cry out and sue against everybody who dare to close highly protected by Liberals whore-houses.
 
I never understood why I could have sex with someone for free, but if money should exchange hands it would suddenly become a crime.

I'd leave it to the states to decide. Federal government has no place making such a decision.

It was not condemned or punished until much later. It was legal for some time. It's kinda like booze. It was all legal at the beginning till some prudes got it up their butt that they had the right to tell us what to do and what to consume; and went on some moral crusade to ban alcohol. This isn't really the government's concern, it's a personal and private matter. But there's no real crime when it comes to prostitution, not innately. And the use of actual brothels and proper regulation can alleviate a lot of the crime which has grown up around prostitution.
 
It's the oldest profession in the world they say, prostitution. In some countries it totally legal. In other countries (mostly western and especially the United States except for Reno) it is illegal.

The question is, under the United States Constitution, including all of the Amendments is it Constitutional or Unconstitutional for one to lease/rent their body out for the sexual pleasure of another?

Since this is stupid post day, why not.

keep it illegal. it's more fun that way.


um... i mean fewer people will engage in that horrible activity.....

Many womans forced to be prostitute, e.g. by Muslim gangs in Europa. All governments should prohibit any kind of prostitution because it is nothing as crime and filth. The predestination of a woman is to bear children, and not to sell hers body to everybody.It is a disgusting thing!

And imagine how much harder it would be to run illegal prostitution if you needed a licence. Patrons would choose the safe route, and go with the legal establishments. Even if the pimp is a crook, your regular john would prefer not to be.
 
that is sadly accurate. if you really want to go after mans' vices, perhaps the best way is to legalize them and then choke them with regulation and taxes.
 
Well in my opinion, a woman can do with her body what she pleases. The government shouldn't have the say so over what she can or can't do with herself. Thats like the government saying you're no longer allowed to finger yourself, sorry,

Wait. The entire argument for wealth redistribution, taxing and spending on anything and everything, arises from the primarily liberal interpreation that the consitution affords unlimited power, including to tell you not to finger yourself.

Are you saying you disagree with the liberal position that the consitution supports that economically, but rejects it when it comes to sex laws? Because that would be contradictory. Liberatarians tend to support the position that the government shouldn't be much involved in *either*. It's at least self-consistent.

Iwa said:
Who is the government to tell ME that [insert anything]
Exactly. Your latent Libertarianism is growing in power! ;0

The human sex trade is indeed sickening. No one should be forced into it. Yet if one chooses, I think they should be allowed to do so. Prostitution in and of itself is not a crime, there's no victim. Now certainly there can be situations in which women are forced into it, illegal human trade and such. But that's a function of the illegal trade and the force put on women to accept certain rolls (maybe like having babies?). There should certainly be enough protection to guarantee that women do not have to be prostitutes. However, it should also be up to them to decide if they want to or not. If a woman enters it voluntarily, then there is no crime.
 
If "pro" is the opposite of "con," then isn't "prostitution" the opposite of "constitution"? And therefore unconstitutional? :mrgreen:
 
Some people need to read the Constitution. It isn't a Constitutional issue. It's a state issue. That's why it's legal in Nevada and not legal in Illinois.

the constitution has been incorporated via the 14th though.

And while we're on the subject, isn't "Congress" the opposite of "progress"? :lamo

And in all senses of the word "congress" has proven repeatedly that it is the opposite of "progress".

insert marriage joke here.
 
No idea... Dont really care.. Leave it up to the states to decide.

Same for the drug war but even if states decriminalized and/or legalized drugs, what stops the Federal Government and its cadre of thugs and punks from busting in?

I thought the US was founded on the Egyptian religion, and the founders like to get it on. What? You think they were all gay? Half of them were screwing their slaves, as a perk of being the Master. Thomas Jefferson had a half dozen black children, so,.................. I guess they liked prostitution and so does the god of this nation, ol Joesph's best friend was screwing his lady Mary and had a kid. Yeah, lot of something going on there with the founding & founders, huh? LMAO!
 
It should be legalized and taxed if ya ask ME. I could do without the tax part but it is what it is. They should be given a check and then a license that show they are clean.

wow.


is english your first language?
 
It's the oldest profession in the world....

The first records of prostitution are of forced sex from slaves.

Some "profession" :roll:
 
A person owns there body, it is their innate property. Prostitution should be legal, taxed, and unionized.

I would oppose prostitution just on that alone.

Unions need to stop existing.
 
Would you oppose prostitution based on it being taxed?
 
It's like drugs. I wouldn't want my child having any kind of opportunity to earn money that way. I don't know about the constitutionality of it. But if I could vote on it I would vote no. And then I'd put on my peasant woman disguise and vote no again.
