While this is true that some are there of their own free will; but many are not.  We have a duty morally to protect our children and our communities.  By legalizing and regulating the sex work industry we can reduce the demand for  underground sex trafficking and allow those who are captured to be identified and not prosecuted with the option of a future untainted by a circumstance they could not control.

The “criminalization of ‘knowing’ exposure,” Irvine wrote, “is likely to steer prostitutes away from voluntary testing, since the results may make the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony charge.” The philosophy and practice of policing the sex lives of stigmatized groups has a long history and has always produced dispiriting results. In the United States, it is inescapably part of the long American Plan.

In doing so I must overcome the readers moral dilemma of legalizing sex work as in many forms of religion it is considered a sin.  I must connect the reader personally with their morals and the dilemma of those who are at risk of being criminalized instead of victimized.

The writer of the book of Hosea says, I will not punish your daughters when they play the whore, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery; for the men themselves go aside with whores, and sacrifice with temple prostitutes; thus, a people without understanding comes to ruin. (Hosea 4:14)”  

Scholl (2012) went further to state, “This verse suggests that our response should be one of understanding— of both the forces that lead women into sex work and the way the sex industry works— not so much to close the industry down but to make sure that every person in the sex industry has choices.”
