I'm no expert on this issue, and I don't have a position on it morally, but it seems to me that legalizing prostitution would be safer for the prostitutes, if the transactions are not illegal, then prostitutes can use the police if they are in danger, there can be arrests for threats/assault, and the courts can be used for nonpayment issues. Basically pimps are made extraneous, and vulnerable people are less likely to be groomed or trafficked.
I can understand and respect that view although I disagree with it (legalized prostitution in Germany is still no picnic, for example.). My view is that Soros is probably already behind human trafficking (FBIanon claims this) and is simply trying to smokescreen his efforts and possibly socially legitimize some of it.
I can't imagine prostitution being a picnic for anyone and I wouldn't want anyone forced into that kind of work for whatever reason, don't get me wrong.

Nah, I gotcha. Sorry, just a figure of speech.

I think we agree, Soros = evil, prostitution = sad.
