And you miss something here. Look at the title of the thread...

“Prostitutes and Politics Why is it still illegal to pay for sex?”

Very simply because it’s an evil deed and it’s something that evil-doers engage in and it should *remain* illegal...

It doesn’t get any simpler than that...

Fine. In that case, let's outlaw alcohol production. Then tobacco. Then let's impose censorship. Pretty soon you're stoning people for acts of impropriety.

Prostitutuon is a great evil. A government that intrudes as much as one you're suggesting is a far greater one. Keep your priorities straight. When Christ comes back, it won't be an issue since He can always make the right judgment...but that amount of power in the hands of even a group of elected men is dangerous and unacceptable.
