From the Article:
"Hamilton is convinced that legal bawdy houses would allow these women to work in safe, controlled conditions."
....and how exactly would someone market a brothel for crack heads?
The term "prostitution" shouldn't even be brought into articles like this.
The only acts of prostitution that should be legalized are acts that are agreed upon by two informed, healthy adults that know very well what they're doing. Once you bring junkies into the picture, it ceases being a transaction that two consenting adults agree on and turns into nothing but 100% exploitation of crackheads who clearly never made an informed conscious decision to enter the profession - but are just doing whatever they have to do to stick another needle in their arm or fill their pipe.
I can't imagine ever being hard up enough to frequent a "Junkies R Us" brothel. These aren't issues that should be tackled via any sort of prostitutes rights org. Has precious little to do with actual prostitution as most of us know it and everything to do with drug addiction.
I'll never understand how any guy could find a 90lb, toothless, unshowered, most likely diseased drug addict going down on him even slightly appealing.
