I thought this thread was dead! Thanks Bill.

I'm surprised that you think pro-choicers are generally anti-prostitution. I haven't seen any surveys done on the subject, so you may well be correct, but my position is that prostitution should be legal and regulated, like the right to serve alcohol or sell firearms, with monthly doctor's visits and STD checks (plus pension plans, medical and dental coverage, income tax witholding and all that rot).

On the other hand, I think most pimps deserve to be taken out and shot.

(lex, you'll find two or three other 'age of consent' threads scattered about; one of them currently active.)
