(53,031 posts)Is that your argument? Human trafficking--child support, all the same?
The key point you are missing is that "your body your choice" doesn't give you rights over others bodies, particularly over underage girls, boys, and children, or victims of human trafficking that are endemic in the sex trade. How is a man's "right" to rape a minor (which is what sex with underage prostitutes is) comparable to a woman's right to make medical decisions about her own body?
Your railing about child support demonstrates that what angers you is that you don't have a right to control the bodies of others, which is precisely what this issue is about. If it were simply adults engaging in consensual behavior, there would be no disagreement. The point is that is not the reality of much of the sex industry.
