Are you arguing that we should legalize child prostitution now?This is a good chance to understand the interplay of Natural Moral Law. Some children are sold, some will continue to be sold, however these sales oppose Natural Moral Law so the general public will never, ever accept this. (see a change of law does not change legitimacy) Siliarly you can now see if child prostitution is made legal demand will not increase!
If more existing demain is being fulfilled, then how is this not an increase? Lets say that out of 100 men who would frequent prostitutes, 80 of them would not do so because of fear of prosecution. When you remove that fear, there would be no deterent for those 80 men, so we now have 80 more men seeking legitimate prostitutes. This would create an increased demand for prostitutes, and pimps would actively recruit new prostitutes. What you have is a boom in an industry.FYI though the above post concerning supply and demand is common sense correct, the real way to say it is lower price allows more existing demand to be fulfilled (again it is not new demand).
But the posters point that more suppliers (prostitute) would be expected to enter is correct. And the same principles are true which is once legal issues are dropped, woman who considered prostitution but found the leagl cost too high now find the cost (of supply) lower
I think you are agreeing with me…but I’m note sure…Hope that helps
God bless,
