What message is being sent out? I mean abortion is considered to be much more morally reprehensible than prostitution by many, yet we've legalized it. In fact, many of the justifications for legalized abortion are the same as for legalizing prostitution, among them, the safety of the participants, the government being able to help stop the spread of infections/disease, that the practice would go on with or without government intervention.
As liberal as your town tends to be in this area, prostitution seems to be an odd place to draw the line.
