Don't forget, if male or female prostitutes (but especially female) were legal they could organize and in general make the profession safer.
Right now girls are abducted and murdered by Johns and the crimes are not seriously lamented. "Oh. She was a prostitute. She was asking to be tied up and have a broken beer bottle shoved up her vagina repeatedly..." Maybe if prostitution were legal, the attitude toward prostitutes would change eventually or... I don't know. I don't know, really, but I think legalizing prostitution would be the way to go. Although I'm glad they won't be penalizing the girls, the move still doesn't legitimize or protect them.

I don't know if San Francisco should legalize it. You can drive 3 hrs to Reno (a non-major city?) and pay for a blow job or intercourse. What are positives and negatives of legalized prostitution: Negatives: 1) incentive for woman to sell sex but hot women already marry for money and ugly men pay for trophy wives so what's the difference? 2) corporation sponsored sex industry that could be used in other industries 3) drug use is high in that group 4) increase divorce rates possibly 5) men spending lots of money they can't afford for a blowjob....postives: 1) less STDs because it'll be monitored and prostitutes must be tested 2) less sex crimes because of the monitoring 3) more tax revenue because illegal prostitution doesn't generate taxes If they do legalize it, it should be heavily taxed just like other activities that do not really do anything to promote health or education of the community (gambling, alcohol, smoking pot or cigarettes, etc.). That money should be used for education, health care or other more pro-social community benefit programs.
