When you look over the lyrics carefully, it may not necessarily be about a prostitute...it could be a single mother whose source of money is unknown to the people around her, and so they suspect her of being a prostitute. The speaker in the song isn't Lady Madonna herself, but somebody asking her about where she's getting her money.
The clues are there, her stockings being ruined for example. Maybe the point is that we're led to these conclusions, but there could be more to the story that we don't know. Only Paul knows for sure.
The song doesn't seem to outright condemn her, at any rate. It seems to admire that she finds certain days of the week to devote to her children, and the other days to getting money, however she gets it.
