Taking the moral highground isn't going to help either.
It's just far to endemic in society to ban outright. The more you push it underground then the more dangerous it becomes. The best thing is to concentrate on tackling the non-consensual side of the prostitution business and let the women who choose to work be safe and healthy.

Agreed.
I would be overjoyed if the Government allowed my bitches and hos some form of health and insurance plans.

I don't understand people who say this
taking the moral high ground isn't some sort of academic wishy-washy if only the world was better, it's an step towards saying the world *should* be better and it's our choice about whether we try and make it so.

I'll probably fail
nothing will ever change in my lifetime and likely nothing will ever change because of me. But at least I'll have given it a shot

We can change things but not in grand sweeping gestures of all or nothing.
You do what you can where you can and in the places that need it the most.
