text: Sorry, but like with those who advocated for marijuana prohibition, you are on the wrong side of history.  Recent polls show there is under 50% support for the continued prohibition of adult sex work.  Furthermore, the continued prohibition of the industry is nice cover for the few legitimate cases of 'trafficking.' That is people who are in the business against their will.  For those of us who think that real trafficking should be entirely the focus, law enforcement's hit rate usually falls somewhere close to 1% in these huge stings.  That's because it's a small problem hidden in the giant sea of adult sex work, that they need to sift through.  The DOJ has studied this carefully, but didn't like the results which showed how small a problem trafficking really is so they hid their numbers.  Look at the work of professor Ric Curtis of Columbia University, or of investigator Jerry Markon of the Washington Post, who uncovered the real numbers about this false 'trafficking' epidemic.
