South Africa to legalize prostitution during World Cup

Football fans traveling to South Africa for the World Cup are in luck.

Members of the South African goverment are pushing forward plans to legalize prostitution during the games, temporarily that is.

Millions of tourists will be in South Africa and the assumption is that along with the football, they will also want alcohol and sex.

Officals claim that sex trade thirves during events such as the World Cup and if the proposal is pushed, then South Africa stands to gain economically. Due to the legalization, the goverment stands to receive extra tax revenue.

Along with the extra revenue, unemployment rates would fall as more people are able to work and also crime rates will fall because prostitution will not be considered a felony.

Additionally, legalizing prostitution will make it safer for everyone as it will be controlled.

The arguments against the proposal, other than the whole morality issue. Is that when people get used to the idea of paying for sex they will not want to give it up.
