Which part of my statements do you consider to be a 'moral judgement'?

Even in places where it is legal, its still going to be looked down on as the general view is that the prostitute is selling their personal dignity as a human for coin. It's not something to be admired.

I make them based on law and how humanity in general views the activity today. How prostitution was viewed in ancient cultures is irrelevant to the present.
As prostitution is an illegal act, it is deserving of no more respect than thieving. I'm not arguing that it's okay to harm prostitutes. Even as criminals, they deserve at least basic human rights. However, respect is earned, not given. Just because one demands respect, does not mean they have some inherent right to it.
Here you are.
