As activists try to reverse a terrible criminalization of prostitution, opponents have evolved their reasonings to try and keep it illegal. They are far from the original reasons for criminalizing it, and all of them are based on fallacious arguments and misconceptions.

Our techniques for suppressing wildfires stem for a day when our trees were seen only as a timber resource that must be preserved. They received no scientific evaluation at the time they were implemented, and new research has shown the damage they cause.
