If punishments for breaking laws are to exist for moral education then all laws must be based on morality. When society deems something to be morally wrong then punishments will be enacted regardless of the letter of the law.
Morality shouldn't be criminalized, codified or legislated.
Unless it harms another person's welfare, personal freedoms, etc.

Prostitution being legal doesn't mean you can now sleep with people below the legal age.
If you aren't enforcing prostitution laws though, doesn't this become harder to catch?

Also, if people in the porn industry are "filming" it.. then it's not illegal..
It should not be illegal. Some guys believe they pay for it in some way or another any ways..

The taxes can pay for the enforcement of the regulations put in place, and then some.

This. Is it ok if you buy her diamonds and pearls, but don't give her cash? What is the difference? If you pay her $1000 and she pays you back $100 and you film it, is it legal?

Less government, less problems.

The foundational concepts of our Declaration of Independence, Constitution and bill of rights are all based on objective morality.
We hold these truths to be self-evident...

You were so close, if you would have just kept going:
quote:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
Call it whatever you want, morality, freedoms, etc. It goes back to what I said, that morality shouldn't be legislated, unless it harms others ability to exercise their God given rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
I love the Declaration of Independence. It's an incredible document.

You aay this but yet you are a big government person.
Also the lack of critical thinking skills by those saying it should remain illegal is amazing to me

"democratic socialism" dystopian scenarios aren't just based on "big government", they are based on the loss of individualism due to the destruction of individual liberties.
Sanders has stood up for individual liberty repeatedly- his statements about the war on drugs, the patriot act, mass surveillance, guns, gay rights, police militarization - all support this..
regardless, "Big Government" is good for schools (smh at louisiana), paved roads (smh at lousiana), drugs that are safe to take, clean water to drink, clean air to breathe, etc

I actually think that it would GREATLY reduce human trafficking.
It would be much more cost effective to go to the local brothel.
And you could set it up so that the women were independent contractors and rent areas to ply their trade. Tax it all, gain the benefits, and mitigate the other offenses that are already happening at a high rate (pimps, sexual abuse, human trafficking, etc.)
It would honestly solve most of the issues that you brought up as unintended consequences that are already occurring.
This. All of the negatives mentioned (violence, STDs, trafficking,etc) would be reduced, if not non-existent, if prostitution was legalized. These negatives exist because the product is being sold on the black market. Why would anyone solicit a STD-infested, drug addict hooker off the street when you can go to a regalized brother where the girls are regularly tested, thus eliminating the risks associated with prostitution as we know it now.

If prostitution was legal, chicks in long term relationships would have to start getting a lot cooler.

Legalization also makes it a lot easier to go to the police if your pimp is abusive.
