Lawmakers behind the learning curve in dealing with prostitution

Mesa resident: Society, prostitutes will suffer until Arizona Legislature figures it out

OPINION — Re: My suggestions for curbing prostitution in Arizona — drugs, gambling and prostitution are inherently and constitutionally legal individual behavior and cannot be outlawed in that context. When unconstitutionally outlawed, it only worsens the lives of those who do it and society at large.

Most of us understand that we cannot commit a crime against ourselves. It’s our life and our body, and we have a 100% God-given right to choose to do evil against ourselves just as much as we have the right to choose to do good, and to suffer the consequences accordingly. Of course, we all understand this when it’s our own behavior.
