"One reason often given as to why prostitution is immoral is that it tends to involve coercion. In most cases, people do not freely decide to become prostitutes. In some cases, they are driven to the profession by desperation and a lack of other opportunities for employment. In other cases, they are forced into prostitution by others. In some cases, people are enslaved and forced to be prostitutes."

> In other cases, they are forced into prostitution by others. In some cases, people are enslaved and forced to be prostitutes. Make forcing people into prostitution illegal then, not prostitution itself. You aren't stopping people from forcing other into prostitution, you're just punishing the person who was forced. This isn't meant to be pro- or anti- legalization of prostitution, I've just never liked that argument.
