What is the difference between Legalizing/Regulating Prostitution, Decriminalizing Prostitution, and the Abolition of Prostitution?
Decriminalized Prostitution: No regulation by government. Pimps/Traffickers remain in total control of their prostituted persons and the income generated by the buying and selling of women and children. Any abuses happening as a result of Decriminalized Prostitution are not regulated by government as nothing related to prostitution is seen as a crime. Decriminalization of Prostitution is often intentionally confused with Decriminalization of Prostituted Persons. This intentional confusion is a common tactic used in lobbying efforts, by pimp/trafficker friends, to make the decriminalization of prostitution into law. Don’t be confused. They are diametrically opposing concepts as the former (Decriminalization of Prostitution) allows for the freedom of patrons and pimps/traffickers and the latter (Decriminalization of Prostituted Persons) allows for the removal of the persecution of prostituted persons while prosecuting pimp/traffickers and patrons of trafficking victims.
