Con against prostitution

Against Prostitution By: Rahni Johnson (HoNeY bEaR)and Marco Powell

Prostitution should not be legal. Some of the reasons why it shouldn’t be legal as Cecilia Hoffman states, “It violates the right to enjoy the highest standard of physical and mental health because violence, disease, unwanted pregnancies, unsafe abortions, and AIDS stalk, presenting constant and grave risks for women and girls in prostitution, and militating against a healthy sense of and relationship with their own bodies." (procon.org, Cecilia Hoffman). Cecilia Hoffman is the Secretary of the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women - Asia Pacific (CATW-AP). When a woman is a prostitute they have a pimp, the only thing that this pimp wants is his money, and if he doesn't get his money, then he will beat the woman, girl or young woman until he wants to stop. when he stops it could be to late and he could have beaten her to death. some of the prostitutes that are working the streets are forced to be a prostitute and it is not there choice.

It is common sense that when you have unprotected sex, the possibility of becoming pregnant is much higher than when having protected sex. Also, the possibility of having infective diseases and spreading them, are much higher as well. John Bambenek, Executive Director of the Tumaini Foundation said, ”Prostitutes, because of their many partners, have a greatly increased risk of exposure to HIV. They are likewise able to spread HIV to many other partners...”. (procon.org, John Bambenek)If prostitution isn't illegalized, then mortal diseases will spread more and more rapidly. Diseases are spread when prostitution is active.

The importance of our society depends on the influence of what people do. In this case, prostitution is a big bad influence for the younger ones in the society. Prostitution will cause the increase of kids learning bad things and not finishing school. Prostitution is a big issue we, as a whole community have to take care of, ad if we don't. The effects can be damaging. Prostitution should not be legal! >:O
