The benefits of legalizing prostitution

From a woman's perspective, we have the majority of benefits to gain by legalizing prostitution. If I had a penny for every time a man said he'd sell sex, I'd be a rich woman!

These include trafficking, political corruption, slave like conditions and imprisonment.
