    I don’t think little of whores and I don’t think people against legalization in general do either.

    I think little of pimps who kidnap children and sell them. A business that increases when prostitution becomes legal.

      Does it though? There are plenty of countries with legal prostitution and I’ve never seen any statistics about illegal prostitution being on the rise there.

      It’s one of those claims both sides could make and actually believe in. There might even be data for both sides, given enough cherry-picking that is.

      Says the person who calls prostitutes by a derogatory name. 🙄

      I think you’re confusing with sex trafficking with sex work/prostitution, which are completely two different things mind you. Ones non consensual and had coercive control, whilst the other is consensual and has full body autonomy.

        Studies and research and numbers, measured many times over a hundred years and more all the time, shows that when legal prostitution is allowed then you also see a rise in the number of victims of kidnapping and being forced into sex work, victims of rape for profit. An increase of slavery and abuse of innocent children.

        Is this new statement clear enough for you to understand my words?

        The idea of legal prostitution is attractive, always will be as a flaw in our brains, but it simply is not worth the unintended consequences. And you should also be wary than many of its advocates are men of power who smell profits to be made.
