Not to mention that there are acceptable places to do (small counties in Nevada) and unacceptable places to do so (everywhere else in the US). I won't even get into the number of countries that have either legalized or decriminalized this practice.

Finally, the best way to find sex trafficking victims seems to be decriminalization which removes the stigma of speaking out. What's really broken here is that the foot soldiers of sex trafficking seem to be against all this pending legislation, fearing it will drive the practice further underground, rather than assist with battling it.

Honest trade reduces opportunity for dishonest exploitation? Sure, I'll agree that's the case, but...

That's pretty much all women; what defines a prostitute is the transparent price schedule and lack of exclusivity.
