Decriminalization is a Abrogation of Responsibilty

Some say that decriminalizing prostitution is a way to reduce the harmful effects of prostitution.
Here is a link containing this opinion. It would reduce the effects of crime in communities, and increase the safety of sex workers by allowing them to work from the home.

I disagree. I could cite disciplines such as microeconomics and sociology to prove my point, but instead I will be concise and appeal to human decency. This method is merely a way to keep the effects of prostitution out of sight and out of mind. You can not tell from looking at a house that there is a woman inside being raped. If she is working on a street corner, prostitution is far more evident. Legalizing prostitution is just an abrogation of responsibility. Instead of helping sex workers get out of the trade and provide for themselves with dignity, we would hide them. We would legalize this abuse so that we don't have to see and think about it. If we were to legalize prostitution, we would be saying to all sex workers: "We do think we are better than you. We are not going to bother giving you a hand up, as decent human beings would. We are going to legalize what you do so some may benefit from it and we don't have to see it." Do you want to say that?
