Legalizing Prostitution
If you do not add something about health codes/testing in this proposal, we will have a lot of people dying. Keep the poor safe too! If the ladies and gentlemen of the night are protected by law and healthy, then their customers remain healthy too.
Overall, I agree with the proposal, but unless I see some sort of amendment, I can't vote for it.

But should we allow such sexual promiscuity at all?

Can't amend resolutions once they're already up there. You also (as I discovered from the mods concerning the euthanasia thing) can't submit further legislation to amend resolutions already voted in.
Remember, just because it isn't included in the text, doesn't mean that you can't do it yourself in your own country. _Myopia_ will be voting for this resolution and then instituting its own laws concerning abuse and health checks. We support the right of the individual to do as he/she wishes with his/her own body.

This is a vile, disgusting attempt to legalize the sexual corruption of politicians and business leaders. I have known many prostitutes, and none of them has ever enjoyed her work; they know it is nothing more than rape, where they get paid not to bring charges.
The true solution is not to add another burden, that of tax, to people in already desperate situations, but to place those people in a situation where they have no need to sell themselves.
We in Ienotheisa has reached such a place. There are always jobs available, and certainly no one goes hungry or homeless if they do not work. And I can say with complete confidence that we have no prostitution here.
So please, as a woman, I ask that you vote against this resolution, and instead work to improve the lives of those forced into the vile profession of prostitution.
Yours in Friendship,

My friends,
There are many more important issues at hand that we need to discuss... such as "How can we help import all marijuana to the Queendom of Superrstacey?"
If anyone would like to help, telegram me!

Thing is, legal prostitution would not be the same as the current sex trade. If prostitutes weren't afraid of getting into trouble, they could report violent crimes and exploitation. Then the exploitative, slavery-style side of the trade could be smashed on the basis of UN resolutions such as that banning slavery and the one codifying the rights of workers and unions.
In the end, I see no reason why consenting adults should not be allowed to do as they wish with their own bodies - and legalising the trade along with instituting the social welfare schemes mentioned in the resolution would help to ensure that prostitutes would be consenting adults.

The People's Republic of The Yid Army has no Welfare state as it is a burden on the economy. This will bring more disposable income to the population to spend as they see fit and thus the Yid Army will be voting for the lesigslation.
