180. They don't care that their assertions are highly dubious and in fact

Many of the same studies they attempt to cite regarding trafficking also shows that the conditions of sex workers are greatly improved by legalization. They often handle that by just ignoring that part of the study, citing only the trafficking portion and hoping you won't look it up to find out that those other portions of the study exist.

As you note, an increased inflow of trafficking to a particular country does not mean more people are being trafficked. It likely just means that the legalized country is a preferred destination.

They don't seem to care about the real world and demonstrated improvements in the lives of sex workers that legalization brings.

This odd law that some seem to favor about criminalizing only one end of the transaction has equal protection and all kinds of other problems written all over it. It's amazing that any democratic country's constitution permits such a thing. That kind of a law seems much more aimed at punishing johns rather than protecting sex workers. If being legal to sell improves the lives of sex workers, why this odd need to criminalize the other half of the transaction.
