	A) Except for the cheapest crack whores, studies show that most
prostitutes are VERY careful about disease. Interestingly enough, the
group of prostitutes second least likely to use protection were the
highest class call girls.

	B) Most sado/masochistic prostitution does not involve sexual contact,
and is therefore already legal.

	C) Prostitutes aren't clogging up the jail cells. Drug users and
dealers are.
