Vaclav Maly Biography
- Title:
- Auxiliary Bishop of Prague
- Position:
- Pro to the question "Should Prostitution Be Legal?"
- Reasoning:
-
“I am not making a moral judgment here. I see prostitution as a reality of the modern world. The chances of eliminating it are practically nil. Under those circumstances it is better to keep it in check and under control by giving it a legal framework. This is not to say that I approve of brothels – but it seems to me that it would be better to have prostitution take place there – with medical check-ups and prostitutes paying taxes. It would be the lesser of two evils.”
