Isn't prostitution illegal in the U.S.?

A San Diego student is selling her virginity on the internet to raise money for her graduate degree.

What is the world coming to? Her soul, spirit and body is worth the price of a graduate degree? Degrees most of us never use?

The story, running in a UK paper,said her highest bid is 2.5 million pounds/3.7 million U.S.

How does she get away with this? Isn't selling your body for money illegal? No matter how neat and tidy the offer? Even call girls in fancy hotels who charge thousands of dollars are doing illegal activity. It's not just the street walkers.

This is really super sad and what a horrible example to set for young women. Your virginity is a commodity?

What's the old adage? "We've established what you are, now we're just determining price."

Wouldn't we be disgusted if she were to sell herself for a $1? How does it change because millions of dollars are involved?

Human trafficking and sex slave trades are becoming rampant. What we don't need is a woman behaving so casually about her body and soul. When we accept this type of behavior, we weaken the fabric of society, the value and treasure of women.

Remember that at the high end of activity there is always a low end. High price call girls and strung out street walkers. It's still the same thing.

To think, all this for a master's degree in marriage and family counseling. Do you want THIS woman counseling you and your family?

Women who did this to save themselves from the Nazis were vilified by their communities.

This is where we are as a country. Look around the world. What is the economic and social condition of countries who leave morality behind? Is that the America you want to live in?

Where is the National Organization of Women? This action and attitude degrades all women. It makes our worth no more than the price of virginity. Got to say, I'm outraged at this.

Speak up. Blog about this. Email friends. Pray.

A writer friend of mine has also voiced her sadness over this situation.
