You’re dead wrong in every point of your comment. It will most like increase the number of minors prostituting themselves, despite regulations against it. Once a vice is made licit in the minds of the public by legalizing it, children are going to be easier to recruit.
Just like the marijuana legalization in many states, this will have deleterious effects that are almost impossible to turn around.
Your post is correct, but probably because of space, lacks some of the kick with the areas that will be breached.
If prostitution is completely legalized, there are many problems associated with it.
Disease, violence, increase in related crime, sex trade possibilities by child abduction (kidnapping), an increase of illegals being bought and sent in to the US, a problem with paid off law enforcement (Capone owned every cop in Chicago), the interrelationship of gambling and alcohol/drugs, public acts that should never be seen especially by children...the list is endless.
And the one thing that is worse about it is that it won’t be stopped where it is, it will grow from support of a now almost unionized groups. Example already: “The group Sanctuary for Families, which advocates for survivors of sex trafficking and domestic violence, has said that decriminalization legislation doesn’t go far enough, and would only legalize a system that would turn mostly women and girls into “commodities to be bought and sold.” I hate to ask them what they think is happening now. Tack that on to the allowing of groups like the transexual community, which is what this is about, NAMBLA, paraphilias...all are waiting for this to be voted in so they can join in the fun. And I hate to bring this up, but what about beastiality? (Slipperey slope) I figured California would try this first. I underestimated New York. Either that or I overestimated them.

Agree with your assessment in post #10. Once they push this envelope it’s a short hurdle to start legalizing a whitewashed version of pedophilia. These godless leftists won’t be satisfied until a rampant state of total immoral debauchery is achieved. Those who promote hell will inherit it.
That will be their next step: decriminalizing adolescent sex, because I bet too many would be against pedophilia.
