| Message | It is going to happen whether legal or not.Why put it underground when the gangsters will benefit from this choice. Plus there will be more chance of spreading STD's. Instead these women will pay taxes that goes into government coffers and women will be tested for these diseases. |

| Message | Wow that's a nice way to deal with it. Why don't we just legalize murders, public gambling and drug trafficking whilst we're at it? As you said, it's going to happen whether it's legal or not, this way we at least save ourselves the state expenses to charge them. What kind of a stupid argument is that? We can't understand how such a party like the Freedom Party can remain in the government whilst actively supporting crime? |

| Message | It is only a crime cause you say it is a crime.What gives you the moral high ground to say that Prostitution is wrong morally. If this was an ideal world we would make it illegal but gangsters and pimps will benefit from us making it illegal. We believe that even if you make it illegal it will go underground and these women that will be forced into doing this will be worse off rather than if they worked under state protection, payed taxes like everyone else and were tested for STD's. It is silly to compare Prostitution with the list of crimes above are wrong and we would vote for tougher sentencing on these issues. However we do not see Prostitution as a crime. Why can't a man or woman have the freedom to pay for sex rather than rape or do worse in order to pleasure themselves? |
