As Bingo pointed, the topic is should it be illegal.

It's illegal for my fiancee (girlfriend, SO, lover, etc.) and I to live together in Michigan. Should it be?

Your state isnt the only state that have old laws, in VA I believe its illegal to have sex any other way except for missionary.


Im not sure why prostitution is illegal in the first place, im sure some say its to help reduce STDS. But hell I think people just going out and having sex voids that!

Having old laws is one thing. Using them to determine parental visitation is another.

But I digress.

Back on topic. This woman got a raw deal and has had her life horribly altered.

Why is prostitution illegal? - By Emily Bazelon - Slate Magazine
The case for making it against the law to buy sex begins with the premise that it's base and exploitative and demeaning to sex workers. Legalizing prostitution expands it, the argument goes, and also helps pimps, fails to protect women, and leads to more back-alley violence, not less. This fight over legalization has been waged in the last few years over international human-trafficking laws and proposals to make prostitution legal in countries like Bulgaria, a movement that the U.S. government helped defeat. In 2004, the federal government expressed its position: "The United States government takes a firm stance against proposals to legalize prostitution because prostitution directly contributes to the modern-day slave trade and is inherently demeaning." The government also claims that legalizing or tolerating prostitution creates "greater demand for human trafficking victims." And yet, prostitution is legal in parts of Nevada, a companion to other cherished vices.

You don't have to be a moralist or a prude to buy the argument for banning prostitution. But if you're so inclined, it's an easy one to take apart. Martha Nussbaum, a law and philosophy professor at the University of Chicago, argues that lots of work involves the sale of bodily services and that lots of the work that poor women do involves bad working conditions. For her, it's all about context—there's a big difference between a street worker controlled by a pimp and a high-end call girl who picks her own clients, and the real question is how to increase poor women's access to decent and safe work in general. Legalizing prostitution "is likely to make things a little better for women who have too few options to begin with," Nussbaum writes.

I would have enjoyed hearing the conversation with her husband.

"C'mon, Sweetie! You gotta take one for the team!"

This takes that phrase to a new level.

She didn't even make it to first base.

She was out on a foul ball.
