Should prostitution be made legal?
In my opinion it should. Its one of the oldest proffessions there is. Brothels should be opened where these girls are kept safe and where they are regularily tested for std's.
When you think about it, a women can make a porn film and legally get paid for it, she gets paid for having sex with a man, whats the differance really other than ones on a film set and ones walking the streets. Either way they're both getting paid for sex.
Its not something I'd ever plan on doing......but if I had to keep a roof over my kids heads and food in their bellies and shoes on their feet....I'd do anything.
I'm not saying that if brothels where opened these girls from Ipswich would not have been murdered,.....but some of them might be alive today. No woman deserves what happened to those girls, not matter what they do for a living.
You also get the benefits that working girls would have to pay tax and national insurance like everyone else that works.
I know everyone has differant thoughts on this subject, but this is what I think.
