| Message | Morally right? Morality is a subjective issue, and the government has no right to set some artificial standard on issues where your actions only hurt yourself. As for not advantageous, well you may be right that it can potentially be scarring for the individual, but that still doesnt gives us the right to say they can't. Moreover, you seem to be ignoring that for most prostitution is a last resort, and us saying its illegal will fail to stop them. |

| Message | If prostitution is considered a last resort, then surely it is the government's place to ensure that these people never fall onto the bottom step of the social and economic ladder? Poor governance and unfair benefits hand- outs cannot be used as an excuse for the imposition of a morally dubious and unpleasant lifestyle on many of our citizens. |

| Message | Theres always going to be a bottom step of the ladder, its inescapable. And no its not the governments job to ensure peoples economic success, thats up to people themselves, since the government doing it means steaing from other citizens. If your party wishes to make sure that no-one is driven into this profession, then that is a comendable aim- but how does making it illegal solve anything? short of locking up all prostitutes, I dont see how this is a solution. We must also consider that some are not forced into their profession- they do so because they know they can make more money than in an ordinary profession. And since this harms no-one, why should we stop it? |

| Message | The claim that prostitution hurts no one is truly absurd. Single Mothers, children born out of wedlock and collapsing moral code are all direct products of this great social evil. |
| Date | 18:55:49, May 26, 2007 CET | From | HaLeumit Tikvah | To | Debating the Prostitution Act |
| Message | Single mothers...children born out of wedlock...are they neccessarily worse than the traditional family unit? Probably they are more likely to be, but if we are going to go down that root then surely the solution is to introduce tests for new parents? Since making it illegal will not stop it. |
