- abritinthebay 9y agoGiven the law was in response to abuse of marginalized women sexually in these services (well written or not) that’s not a very good argument in this case. Both are underground: this is about removing east of access to the service not legal vs illegal services

- troupe 9y ago> Legal brothels have much lower rates of abuse. Because there is less overall abuse? If you make something legal you will increase the number of people who are concerned about the legality of their actions which will reduce the overall percentage of people participating who are NOT concerned about the legality of their actions. I would expect the percentage of abuse to go down in that situation, but it doesn't mean that you've actually reduced abuse. (On the other hand if the activity is legal, it is easier to report abuse. In which case it is the ability to report abuse that is reducing abuse--not the legality of the activity.)
