I am in complete agreement with you on all these points.
The issue is, workers ARE already being exploited. The idea is regulations would bring about safeguards that would try to prevent these scenarios.
But let's say what you said has happened and now someone is in this situation you described. There are two scenarios:
- Prostitution is legal
- Prostitution is illegal.. now what? commit crimes? starve? It's not like because prostitution is illegal suddenly there are new prospects available to this person in this broken system
I'd argue decriminalization of prostitution does more good than harm in this situation.
