Augusta Woman Arrested For Prostitution. Should Prostitution Be Legal? [POLL]

This is a very sensitive subject for many people.   It's been a familiar topic in Maine ever since Zumba instructor Alexis Wright from Kennebunk made national news with her double life a few years ago.  According to a story in the Kennebec Journal, Bobbi-Jo Rollins, 39, was arrested and charged with prostitution for the third time yesterday afternoon. 

According to the published report, police have had a number of complaints about Rollins in the past, and have spoken to her about her clothing and her behavior. She was arrested after police saw her get into a truck on Western Avenue.  The KJ story also said that Ralph Ferguson, 57, of Windsor, allegedly hired Rollins and he was summonsed on a charge of engaging in prostitution.

Prostitution is illegal in the United States, except for select counties in Nevada.  It is considered a misdemeanor, which is a crime of low seriousness.  Many will argue the fact that it is a woman's (or man's) body and she/he has the right to do with it as they choose.  Perhaps it's a source of income and as long as they report their earnings, where's the harm?

Others feel it is a very dangerous business,  putting the person in harm's way.  There is also the concern of spreading diseases and the list just goes on.  What do you think?
