I fail to see the connection since porn is legal and prostitution is not. I can see the difference quite clearly. Jenna Jameson didn't have sex with YOU, just with lots of other people who did NOT pay her. You pay to watch her performance.
It's funny really. The same people toss up the same points which are refuted by the evidence over and over again. Prostitution, legalized or not, carries with it a host of social problems. There have been numerous attempts to remedy this system. Despite being mocked, the Swedish government acted to reduce prostitution and has done so. Prosecuting pimps and johns heavily appears to be working. Legalization clearly does NOT work to reduce trafficking, the worst offense. If it did, other countries would be visiting the Netherlands to see how they make it work. Instead, they're visiting Sweden and the Netherlands is driving out brothels and generally making prostitution a less hospitable endeavor in their country.
