Legalizing Prostitution in Canada

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

I think you are conflating prostitution and abuse. The two can be separated, and often are.

I think your and misunderstanding me.

Prostitution is not necessarily abuse, but pimps are usually abusive, giving prostitution a veneer of respectability by making it legal has the potential to turn them into just "bad employers" which in turn has the potential to increase the abuse because the abused women are no more likely to file a civil suit than go to the police.
