Yes, but I think we can all agree that drinking and driving is wrong. The same cannot be said of abortion. For you it may be black and white but for many of us it really is a grey issue.
Prostitution, make your arguments. I'd say if you had to have a license and you could be sure that no underage people were forced into it, why not?
My argument is that abortion is going to happen anyway, so should we lose just the fetus, or the many of the mothers as well?
I'd make the same argument about marijuana. People are going to do it, so do we want the government to regulate it? Or do we want to give production and distribution over to gangs?
