Every one who keeps a common bawdy-house is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years. Everyone who lives wholly or in part on the avails of prostitution of another person, is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years. The pro side is arguing that the law should be struck down. The con side is arguing that they should be upheld. Prostitution is not illegal, but the government attempts to control it by regulating acts around it. They are going to demonstrate that these provisions should be struck down because they are ineffective, and contravene the constitutional rights of sex workers. It should be treated as any other form of labor, and they are laborers in a free market.
