I don't agree with parts of the 'Crusade' either, but your comparison is disingenuous.
...and if they did, I bet you a lot less people would decide to undertake a career as a barista, wouldn't they?
Sorrynotsorry, but I can't be sympathetic to the consequences of a life someone is choosing to live. Unless we're talking literal sex slavery, this is a choice to undertake those risks as a part of the job. In every country in Western Civilization (and a majority of countries elsewhere in the world) humans are able to choose what to do for a living. Yes, there has to be demand for workers in a given field in a given region. We're also capable of relocating to other places where there's more demand for work of a type that we want to do and which has a risk level we're willing to tolerate.
That's the thing though, it's often not a job, as it's illegal in 49 states.
Those prostitutes who physically sell sex for money are criminals in the eyes of the state, and generally are doing so because they have no other option.Â
I'm not sure where you live, but to view prostitutes as any other form of mobile labor is a happy thought here in America.
