Plus if it was legal, and all prostitutes had to be registered and have health checks, how would the victims of trafficking be able to work?
You said the current law pushes this further into the dark alleys; and I agree. Legalized it would be safer for everybody.

I quoted one study on the first page of this thread and a Google of legal prostitution human trafficking gives a wide variety of studies and opinions. So based on my reading I believe the link is real. Your above logic is why I support the Nordic model of selling being legal. It allows the prostitute to seek help without criminalizing them. Regulation would help but based on current results around the world it isn't working.
