quote [ Seven top officials of the website Backpage.com, long accused of facilitating child sex trafficking, have been arrested after a grand jury in Phoenix issued a 93-count indictment alleging conspiracy and money laundering, and the government on Friday seized all of Backpage’s websites around the world. ]
I don't know why you'd run something like this within reach of America™.

Well that’s true, even I feel financial pressure to go to work. The difference is that I can choose another profession if I want to. Counsel will probably still hit me, but they’ll spare my pretty face. /s
Some of these workers can’t leave. Some are purposefully addicted to illegal drugs that only their pimp will provide. This makes even a minimum wage regular job non-accessible as they suffer withdrawal. They can be threatened if not physically beaten for even looking to exit the trade. I am under no illusion that some of them our organization interviewed for this case paid a price for doing so.
And you've repeatedly claimed that legalized prostitution makes all women whores. It's absurd.
I swear I didn’t, but if so, please point out the exact sentence. I’m simply saying that the lives of sex workers are not as glamourous as they seem and I’m pretty sure those lives are illustrated to look like shit to begin with.
In my humble opinion, if you make trading sex for money legal, all that violence, and blood, and money, and corruption, and rape, and pimping, and pressure, ad nauseum will be unleashed on the general public. I don’t think the general public is ready.
And maybe I’m making a big leap here, but I’m guessing you’re not of the gender that is going to get figuratively and literally fucked in this exchange. Historically, women lose. From what I can see, those that are in this trade are still losing.

Will EVERYONE start trading sex for money? NO! Just like if you legalize cocaine, or heroin, or ecstasy EVERYONE wouldn't start using/buying those. Would people get hurt? Yes, I believe they would.
And maybe I’m making a big leap here, but I’m guessing you’re not of the gender that is going to get figuratively and literally fucked in this exchange. Historically, women lose. From what I can see, today, those that are in this trade are still losing.
