Prostitution is wrong, however based on the tradition and history of our forefathers, I highly doubt they would want the federal government to ban it. The only punishment one should receive for it, based of the context of the Constitution is public humiliation.

"Prostitution was not an offense in either English or American common law, and, prior to World War I, although being a prostitute was not an offense, prostitution was generally regulated as a specific sort of vagrancy. When prostitutes were punished as sexual deviants, it was under laws against adultery or fornication or for being 'common nightwalkers'--women who strolled the streets at night for immoral purposes.

From very early times, for example, nightwalking was an offense in Massachusetts. The law against nightwalking in that state, which testifies to the presence of prostitutes, was enacted in the colonial assembly of 1699 and reenacted by the state legislature in 1787. It was not until 1917 in Massachusetts, however, that a prostitute could be punished for prostitution."

"Prostitution is wrong,"

That is a subjective opinion. If a consenting woman or man wants to enjoy sex and get paid for it, who are they hurting? If a woman or man wants to pay for sex with someone, they consensually choose to pay for it, who are they hurting? How is it "wrong"!?!
