Prostitution in Ireland should be legalised

I thank you for your compliments and commend you on your civility and perseverance throughout this debate. My opponent seems to be confusing a Shakespearean play set in Venice (and Shakespeare himself residing in England, without any Irish blood to his name[1]) made primarily to line Shakespeare's pockets with money and to entertain an audience in return as to be an accurate representation of Irish heritage and all the it encompasses. Need I say more on that matter?Her logic that police can focus on worse crimes could potentially be countered if I showed her severe examples of human trafficking and what really goes on in brothels and the tactics that pimps use to keep prostitutes hooked on the career and dependent on the line of work but if I did this she'd simply use the fairly valid counter of 'such bad things wouldn't happen if it was legalised'. Therefore, I will use her own logic against her instead of presenting my own. According to her, if there is a 'worse' crime in existence then no lesser crime should be a concern of the police. She mentioned both rape and theft as examples of crimes that are worse than prostitution so I will say back to her than by her own logic whichever of those two crimes she considers less severe than the other should also be legalised by this logic. In essence all crimes should be legalised as long as there's another crime potentially worse for the police to focus on, according to my opponent's logic. This would make both rape and theft, which she considers to be horrific crimes, to end up being legalised for a worse crime was ever a concern of the police. I hope you can see the fallacy of such an argument and that no matter how many worse crimes there are for the police to focus on, a crime is a crime and what's worse to one person is perhaps less worse to another.The final point that Pro makes is that the body of a human being is simply a resource to be exploited for money at will. Their line of work is no morally different to models, says Pro. This is fairly fascinating news to me, it's also entirely untrue. A prostitute is owned by a pimp, this pimp feeds them, clothes them, gives them access to drinking water, decides when they wake up, when they sleep, when they sh*t and even when they breathe (yes I'm referring to exactly what you are thinking of). A model is not essentially owned by anyone and could, potentially, quit their job at any time they so wished (unless, of course, on a contract). They are completely consenting to their job and their job is just a job they do it and go. One does not simply leave a brothel, they are trapped there for good. Additionally, modelling does not carry the risk of sexually transmitted diseases or infections and also doesn't involve risk of pregnancy. A model can sue any single colleague or camera person for sexual harassment if they so wish and severe consequences come on anyone who assumes that to be a model is to submit to degradation or humiliation of any kind outside of professional, constructive criticism of how they present their body (not even the body itself). On the other hand, if a prostitute feels sexually harassed by colleagues and people on the street who will not even hire her (or him) then he/she has literally zero ways to prosecute the individual, even if prostitution was legal, it would just be deemed as a valid humiliation since it's culturally seen as the job one does when they submit to being degraded.Sources:[1] Shakespeare's Ancestry.
