Prostitution is but one facet there are many more aspects to be considered. Not surprisingly, still not one vote in favor of protecting people from the numerous possibilities.

Because your poll is too vague.

If you asked "Should the government allow siblings to fornicate?" I think we all know the poll results on that.

The question isn't too vague. More likely you don’t understand the definition of the term, a common problem in our postmodern relativistic society. Fornication has but one meaning, which is; “sexual intercourse between two unmarried persons or two persons not married to each other.

I hope you voted yes.
No sexual fornication is
fornication - definition of fornication by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
1. voluntary sexual intercourse outside marriage

And no there shouldn't be laws discouraging this behavior.

Shouldn't this be in Great Debates along with threads like "Is swearing legal?" or "Should we annex Mexico?"

It's still on the books in Utah, and yet another reason why I'm a criminal for just being alive.

"Utah Code
Title 76 Utah Criminal Code
Chapter 7 Offenses Against the Family
Section 104 Fornication.


76-7-104. Fornication.
(1) Any unmarried person who shall voluntarily engage in sexual intercourse with another is guilty of fornication.
(2) Fornication is a class B misdemeanor.

Enacted by Chapter 196, 1973 General Session"
