How much of this evidence is skewed in favor of areas where prostitution os illegal? What sort of evidence do you have in areas were prostitution IS legal (such as Nevada, The Netherlands, etc)? The fact that prostitution is illegal in the US, and furthermore is stigmatized, I think it would be logical to conclude that these factors would be major contributors to the "unhealthy" aspects of prostitution.
