Are you suggesting that keeping prostitution illegal is preventing men from cheating on their wives? I've not met many people who are so naive.

And every one of those things was targeting illegal brothels run by pimps in Chicago.

If the facilities themselves were gov't ran, with weekly medical checks and safety protocols, then I have a feeling things would be very different.

Right now, with prostitution being illegal, it is abhorrent and disgusting and evil. I'm thinking of the similar comparisons with Colorado and marijuana.

I'm not suggesting that at all. I am suggesting that women won't elect someone that will give their husbands an additional, legal avenue to cheat on them.

If you're in a union, you're going to be against scabs who undercut your price.
