| Message | If prostitution is regulated and controlled, the risk of harm decreases drastically. Women, and even men in some situations, are out alone on the streets. They can be raped, or even killed, and no one may ever know about it. If this sector is regulated we will be able to protect these people. Making it completely illegal is the wrong way to go, and making is legal but without regulation is just as bad if not worse. For the safety of our citizens who feel they must resort to prostitution to sustain themselves and possibly their families, we must regulate and legalize prostitution before we tackle the real problem; poverty. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
