Surely you meant "does not remove ALL problems with prostitution"? When you say prostitution is unhealthy, do you mean to say that the "problems" are inherent in prostitution, and the best way to eliminate the "problems" is to eradicate prositution? One might argue that the "problems" are caused by cultural views, that as long as prostitution is perceived as dirty or immoral, that primarily people who have lots of other "problems", and therefore are less concerned about the stigma, will participate in prostitution. In other words, perhaps a good way to eliminate the "problems" of prostitution is to eradicate religion(s) which teach that prositution is immoral? _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
