As long as there are people willing to pay for sex and others willing to have sex those people for the money prostitution will exist. It being illegal just means that it cant be regulated and means all involved are at risk. This is how you end up with bullshit like sex trafficking, the spread of STD's, and all sorts of horrors for the people involved.
The same can be said of drugs and gambling. Prohibition is a perfect demonstration of legal vs. illegal.
Regardless of the arguments of 'problems' in legalization, these 'problems' still exist plus MANY more. Legalization substantially eliminates crime and victims.
Take the money saved from enforcing draconian laws and use it for education and prosperity.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
