Because of the incentive it places on the black market to find people whose bodies they can sell.

But if it was legal there would by definition be no black market.  It would lesson the incentive to have a pimp, increase the ability to regulate, increase the autonomy of the body in question, offer legal recourse for people who are mistreated, and create competition among legitimate business people who would presumably operate under defined federal law.

You'd think so, but one thing to take into account is that a large chunk of working prostitutes, even in countries where it has been legalized, were brought into the country illegally. It's hard to suggest that many of these women are doing so wilfully.

Haven't saw a foreign prostitute in Brazil... and even the national ones I haven't saw being agaisnt their will.
