>How does your comment fit with children being drugged and forced into prostitution?
Kidnapping is already a serious crime.
>And then adults being drugged and forced into prostitution?
Say it with me, kidnapping is already a crime.

A legal and regulated sex industry will no longer provide the 'safe haven' for addicts that the illegal one does today. Note - I'm not claiming it will eliminate it.
>At which point of this ladder do you start to say "no, this is where we need to make it illegal"?
We need not start. By your logic, we should outlaw cars for all the deaths they cause.
