March 1881,
Tombstone, Arizona Territory:

Upon the payment for $2.50, Marshall Virgil Earp issues a License for Prositution to one Laura Mae, good for three months.

Then.....

Arizona became "civilized".

I started a search on 19th century prostituion when I found a women related to me way back had hung herself and left a young son and husband behind. She was living in a poor house which didn't make sense to me. A whole lot of digging and I found where they were married and her name on a list of prostitutes.

It really made my search very interesting and took to researching poor houses in the US and the welfare state as it started. I know this is a little off track but very interesting to start uncovering all these secrets.

they also add to the fine that You have no license...lol...however if You apply for one they will Not issue You one...but now they know who You are...ugh...

you also have to show up at the hotel front destk and voice your reason for being there and who you are visiting. If you don't it is a charge with a fine. If all else fails LE will book you on those charges.

there is not one thing in human relations that we now invent - It has all been here before!  Several times.  Love sex hate jealously... all there.  providing sex for pay??  no exception.  Making money (from women) providing sex for pay, commonplace.  Licensing a woman's right to do with her body what she will....?  seems that is no different than being a pimp.


think this related to abortion and the right to a woman's access to an abortion.... you bet it is.

With all the people who are involved with the industry, I don't understand why there isn't a movement to make it legal. I've never heard one single good arguement to why it's wrong. The people who are usually against it are the housewives who have this delusion that it's in the human nature to be celibate.

With the country being on the edge of another depression, it would make more sense to regulate the business. Make us get licenses, require testing for STD's and make us pay taxes.

When a woman is doing this, in order to care for herself or her family, because there are no jobs out there. It's simply cruel to threaten them with jail and/or losing everything that they have. Nobody should have to give up their lives for sex
