Seems like all the risks you just associated with not-prohibiting prostitution would also apply to farming. Given its deplorable history in the US vis-a-vis slavery, it seems to be we can’t possibly risk more individuals being exploited in such a manner. Granted I’d concede that farming has substantial benefits, but frankly so does sex to those who cannot obtain it socially. Arguably the need for sex is tantamount to the need for food itself.
- jeroenhd 5y agoIf people cares as much about the safety of people working on farms as they pretend to care about the safety of sex workers, farms would've been banned a long time ago. There's a lot of people working a lot of hours for little money under bad circumstances on a lot of farms. That doesn't mean all farms are bad, but many of the same dangers do exist to the workers down the chain and regulation seems to avoid having to raise prices more than protect workers. In my opinion, political opposition of the basic concept of sex work is all about politicians' personal morals and a lot of fear mongering to convince the masses of their point of view.
- occamrazor 5y agoFor farms, the social benefits of having farms are arguably higher. Hence the government tries alternative approaches, i.e. labor laws. Admittedly, the government is not enforcing labor laws effective ly, but the reasons are beyond the scope of my answer.
