Be as glib about it as you want, but I wouldn't take the chance.
1/1,000,000,000 is probably safer than driving to the store, and I do that every few days.
The number isn't important, I just pulled a bunch of nines out of my ass to illustrate my point that there is a life and death difference in 100 and 99.99999.
But the number is important, and the number in this case is probably work to get that number closer to one by handing out prep and condoms to the prostitutes and Johns.
Instead they're prosecuting the only people involved who are likely to be victims.
Yeah, along with the rest of your argument. You are free to not participate in *checks notes* the consumption of illegal prostitution if you are uncomfortable with the inherent risks associated with *double-checks notes, just to be sure* the consumption of illegal prostitution.
And yet I'm sure you still take far greater risks than those every day.
You take that chance a thousand times a day.
You should probably never drive a car, take a bath, or be near weather. Your car, shower, and lightning are all far more likely to kill you.
