      Only in countries where sex work is illegal.

      You’d think that a country with a recent, well documented, lived example of how prohibition doesn’t actually fix anything might have learnt something from the experience

        Just because we can’t enforce something 100% all the time, every time, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.

        After all, is murder and theft can’t be fully stopped, should we just say screw it and get rid of the laws forbidding it?

          That’s a false equivalence.

          I’m not saying that we shouldn’t prohibit people from doing antisocial things that harm others, I’m saying that adults doing things/consuming things/selling things in a safe, regulated way where everyone consents, understands what they are doing and the risks associated and no one gets hurt probably shouldn’t be illegal.
