Some believe that sex work is unworthy of both the lawyer and the elicitor (McCain A15). Even if their ethical concerns could gain traction in the chamber and they could convince a legislator that childish reasoning like "that's just gross" was sound enough to make a logically sound decision about trade, they wouldn't be able to say that denying support to the victims of an international slavery ring it reflects a brilliant morality. Laws are based on logic and facts. These are the facts: It is indisputable that the government can provide monetary or medical assistance to rape victims; it is indisputable that the sex industry is already worth billions of taxable dollars; and it is indisputable that countless numbers of people are stuck, both financially and physically, in the business of human trafficking. Legislators would be completely irresponsible in bowing to the moral demands made by critics who ignore these facts, as they would endanger the lives of citizens.
