Exactly... I wonder though how this ruling has the potential to affect whether prostitution is ultimately decriminalized or not. Assuming the court rules in the agency’s favour, we’ll have a law where selling sex is legal, everything surrounding the selling of sex is legal, but it’s purchase is prohibited. In light of that, it would be preposterous to let that tenet stand. Assuming this case is ‘the first domino’ as it were, wouldn’t it be likely that the cascading effect would cause the purchase of sex to once again become legal?
