I've heard about these claims. And to be fair, it's alright from a control perspective. But do the end really always justify the means ? I'm sure there are other layers of debate than this. On the other hand, I wonder if the politicians who claim to be okay with the ban aren't just saying it for electoral reasons to get more people's votes with them.
How is it in countries where it's legal btw ? Is it really "controlled" ? Or just taxed ?
If you make something illegal you make it hard to control and monitor
Sex traficking skyrockets, drug abuse, physical abuse and so on
If you make it legal, as a buisness that pays tax. Workers there are protected by law and medical care, cash goes into tax for the state, there is less abuse bcs it is legal, traficking drops because you no longer need to force women to do it illegaly.
There will always be prostitution, always, the question is why should criminals benefit from it and not thw state?
Look at prohibition, perfecr example od what happsns when you ban something
