A 1995 poster from The Margo St.James Task Force on Prostitution, from a poster gallery at International Sex Worker Foundation For Art, Culture and Education (ISWFACE).Unfortunately, suppressing human desires doesn't make them go away, it just makes them go underground. Much like prohibition in the Twenties, outlawing prostitution created a whole industry of vice, complete with disease, poverty and drugs. After two centuries of crackdowns, it's apparent that those laws aren't working. Because prostitutes still are. Can't be said often enough. Prostitution should be legal because:
1. Consenting adults should be free to choose who they have sex with.
2. Fascist politicians have no right to impose their own phoney religious beliefs on everybody else.
3. The illegality of prostitution is the direct cause of a large amount of profitable organized crime, drug abuse and disease.
