Prostitution

PROSTITUTION LEGALIZATION PRIMER

(A Public Service Announcement from Suburra Publishing.)

The criminalization of prostitution is rooted in religion and is currently supported by moralists. These moralists use myths to make the absurd claim that outlawing prostitution benefits prostitutes themselves. The following nine myths are rarely challenged in the mainstream media due to taboos on sex and religion. It is wrong to persecute people for actions that do not harm others. The criminalization of prostitution denies prostitutes and their customers the pursuit of happiness that inspired the American Revolution.

Note: To expose all the fictions, faulty reasoning, and misguided motives behind prostitution's criminalization cannot be accomplished in a handful of web pages. Hopefully these pages will rouse readers to either purchase the book, You Will Die, or even better, begin to investigate the issues themselves (see links).
