There are many reasons why some people might think that prostitution should be illegal. Not everyone will agree with all of these reasons. These reasons include:
- Prostitution is immoral. People should not have sex outside of marriage and so we should not condone an activity which is, by definition, improper and immoral.
- Prostitution spreads disease. Prostitutes can be infected with sexually-transmitted diseases and can spread those diseases to their other customers.
- Prostitution is usually involuntary. We may think that prostitutes voluntarily enter the profession, but they are typically coerced in some way.
- Prostitution is degrading. It forces people to sell their bodies for money, which is contrary to human dignity.
- Prostitution is dangerous. Prostitutes are in danger of being victimized by violent clients.
- Prostitution promotes human trafficking. People often buy and sell prostitutes across countries.
- Prostitution weakens families. It encourages people to have sex outside of marriage, thus weakening their commitment to their families.
