I was raised to believe our bodies are sacred, a gift from God - especially our genitals. Not only are they used for reproduction, they are to be used to enhance LOVE between partners.

There is no LOVE shared in prostitution. It's the ultimate disrespect of the human body - using a sacred gift as a toy or a way to make money. I would not want to see this dehumanizing "profession" become a legalized career choice.

How many men would marry a prostitute, and would they have a problem with her "working" outside of the home? How would it be explained to the children?

How do the children of prostitutes thrive in society? Would they be able to "show and tell" what they know about their mothers? Would they be able to proudly report their experience on "take your child to work day?" to the rest of the class?

How many children say "When I grow up, I want to be a prostitute!" How many parents or grandparents would feel a sense of pride from such a proclamation? My guess....not many (at least I hope not).
Thanks for this!
