It's really hard to make babies at the construction site, even on accident.

  Sex work has nothing to do with children. At all. Birth control, IUDs, condoms, and abortions are all used to prevent births. Now, if you're talking about paid surrogacy, that's a whole different area, and a whole different set of laws.

    > Birth control, IUDs, condoms, and abortions are all used to prevent births. Sure used, but easily avoided, and it would be a social and political nightmare to deal with this as a society.

  It's easy to die, though.

    Sure but insurance companies have already determined and society has accepted the value of human life. If I recall it averages out to 1.3 million (looking for evidence now) EPA has it listed at 7.4 mil [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_of_life#Life_Value_in_the_US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_of_life#Life_Value_in_th...

      > Sure but insurance companies have already determined and society has accepted the value of human life. Same for abortion.

        This is not true evidenced by the fact it is a political talking point every election cycle.

  The downvotes on this are baffling. Is it so hard to believe that poorly educated addicts are selling sex on the side and getting pregnant? Just googling a little: http://gradworks.umi.com/34/32/3432633.html http://gradworks.umi.com/34/32/3432633.html ''' The vast majority, 19 of the 20 participants, had been pregnant as a result of intimate partner, rape, and prostitution encounters. The risk of pregnancy was not a concern for most participants. Participants rarely used consistent contraception with either intimate partners or prostitution clients. Most pregnancies were unintended, irrespective of prostitution involvement. ''' OK. Anecdotal, not random sampling, but it proves that "Just use contraception!" isn't a fair answer for whatever reason. Anyway, the kids that are born to prostitutes are certainly not consenting and absolutely in a bad situation.
