Canadian province of Ontario legalizes brothels in landmark ruling

By Paula Newton, CNN, March 26, 2012


In Ontario, Canada, the court officially ruled prostitution laws unfair because apparently they discriminate against prostitutes. While this might make sense in a very illogical way (discriminating against people is wrong), brothels should not be made legal. The judges continued to say that a prostitutes should be able "to work indoors, in location under her control." Basically the new law is the prostitutes can work indoors, but they cannot go out on the street to try to get costumers.
This is newsworthy because in America prostitution is illegal so it is interesting that a place that is so close to have it legalized. Also the fact that insulting the prostitutes is inappropriate and Canada is uncomfortable with that. I find the whole situation odd.

Should prostitutes start getting insurance for their 'jobs' or benefits?
