Instead I'm going to quote some of the comments on Facebook and respond to them.

I'm sure many people will disagree with me - but I believe that prostitution has been demonized in order to disempower women. If women could sell sex at will, then they would become much more financially independent - and laws could be put in place to protect them from abuse and disease.It seems that the most typical situation around the world is that having prostitution illegal creates a situation where the hand of management (pimps) is strengthened when negotiating with workers (prostitutes).
