Why is prostitution illegal again?
It doesn't infringe on anyone else either, well, not directly anyway.
In fact, we can publish "swingers" stuff all over the internet, yet most state laws prohibit prostitution.
Should government be in the game of setting morality or not?
Jane Doe, marrying a pig doesn't infringe on others either.
John Doe marrying his 12 year old neice doesn't either.
Jack Doe marrying multiple women doesn't either.
Watching kiddy porn in the privacy of my home doesn't infringe on others either.
Me walking bare a$$ naked through the streets doesn't infringe upon other rights either, although many might lose their lunch.
Where are you going to draw the line?
States presently are drawing the lines -- you may or may not agree with them.
