The first statement is that decriminalization is a gift to the sex industry; give dignity to the industry, but also to women. The main concern here is that the people running the industry are now regular employers. As discussed by Aquinas, not all vices can be removed, but we can regulate such employers through regulations, which is currently not possible to do. The next claim is that this legislation would promote sex trafficking (sexual slavery). Sex trafficking involves selling people into prostitution under their will; If prostitution were decriminalized and law enforcement was able to protect and eliminate corruption, slavery would be stopped. Slavery is not constitutional and must be stopped. It is also argued that decriminalization increases illegal and street prostitution; this illegal activity will exist anyway. With decriminalization, people within the sex industry are more likely to engage in illegal, street-level activities
