 Actually, decriminalizing and legalizing are two different things in this 
 sense.  "Decriminalizing" means to eliminate existing laws that make 
 prostitution criminal.  "Legalizing" means to replace those laws with new 
 laws restricting and regulating prostitution, such as licencing, or 
 restriction to licenced brothels, etc.  Most prostitute activists are in 
 favour of the former and opposed to the latter.  For good reason.
