Why is prostitution illegal?

Lots of arguments in favor of abortion give the reasoning "a women should be able to do anything with her body". Why then, are so many people (conservative and liberal alike) against women doing what they want with their bodies and having sex for money? It's legal when it's filmed (porn) so why the f--- is it not legal otherwise? I'm talking well-regulated, taxed, brothels, and obviously no underage women.
Our government needs to stop trying to legislate personal morals.

If I remember right some of the first abortion laws were passed to try and stop the spread of STD's. It then turned into a morality thing.

Don't you start this same thread every so often?

Believe it or not this is kind of important to me. To me it's a gross violation of freedom to ban something as harmless as having sex for money.

Same reason that seat belts are mandatory.

Apples and oranges IMO. One is a safety issue, the other is a "you can't do this because it's not socially ok" issue.

Do you have a "friend" who's a pimp or do you just enjoy the company of an escort?

Up to the states is it not?
Don't know why either. Who cares. Would PD lose too much money if it was illegal?

Cool thread idea generated from a reddit meme.
For the record, prostitution shouldn't be illegal.

Because too many people still enjoy legislated morality.

It is indeed a state's rights issue.
I don't see the issue with two consenting adults having a financial transaction for sex.

So, you're asking the government to take on these additional responsibilities? Maybe they (most folks?) don't want to have to do that.

Because the institution of marriage beat them to the punch when it comes to paying for sex.
