We only see dead prostitutes because of economic pressures driving women to be prostitutes in a fundamentally sick society that refuses to properly care for its own.
Also because an industry run by criminals probably doesn't place concerns about health and safety on the job as a top priority. The more you put those people in charge, the more the prostitutes are going to find themselves in dangerous situations without any support.
What? As opposed to all those nice business men who aren't screwing over their employees with low pay that doesn't meet the costs of living and right-to-fire employment where the employee is seen as little more than a hired contractor to whom the business has zero responsibility?
Given our nation's short-comings with regards to properly regulating every-day businesses many of which are vital to the everyday function of our society (Like say the media...), why should I place any faith in our ability to regulate Prostitution in a way where the health, rights, and basic human dignities of sex workers are ensured?
Who's going the shoulder the health liability of an expanded sex trade? Because the people have made it clear that we won't be doing that. Ehh...I'm sure the type of people who run brothels totally care enough for their staff to keep them insured and in good health, and they won't at all cut "Unnecessary costs" in the interests of maintaining higher profits like literally every other corporate entity in America. So if a prostitute contracts HIV and can't work anymore, I'd bet you my left testicle what that leads to is her working the streets once again because she can't work legally, the EXACT scenario she wanted to avoid. The worst part now is that if she ever gets cought, she won't get the help she needs, nope! We'll throw her in prison for spreading disease, because that's how my nation treats its own.
