57. A Person Should Absolutely Have the Right to Do Whatever They Want With Their Own Body

Prostitution is "unsavory" largely because it's illegal. If it were legalized, there'd be no need for pimps. If it were regulated (as it should be, since it could be a public health concern), all prostitutes (female AND male) would undergo regular physicals and be legally required to use protection.

There are options out there for women "forced" into prostitution; agencies designed to help them out of that life. But if someone CHOOSES to sell his or her body for sex, they should have the right to do so.
