The main reason I would be for this bill, is that it will bring the market out of the dark. Which would hopefully create protections for women forced into sex work. If you ever look at statistics for sex workers, you would realize that it is a dangerous line of work. Most people feel ok to prey on these women because it is a dark market and think they can't turn to law enforcement.
Just because these women were born with shitty fathers or from an impoverished country doesn't mean they aren't humans who could use help getting away from abusive men.
This new bill is not about bringing women out of the dark. It is to intentional decriminalize sexual predators. Especially around child sex crimes or what they like to call "underage prostution.
I don't think this is linked to underage sex...yet. But I never understood arresting two willing parties in consensual relations. But I can see that it is not likely they are just being open minded, this is more likely a bridge to something else like you are suggesting.
