I would disagree with you about prostitution because of the huge health and safety risks involved, both with the spread of disease and possible abuse of the sex workers themselves.

Yes, but these prescriptions are given only when they are medically needed, and they have medical purposes that their illegal counterparts lack.

I suppose a great portion of the legalization debate revolves around this; whether in fact some illegal drugs are actually harmless. That issue could occupy dozens of threads on its own, so I guess we can leave it alone for now.
With the abortion issue, it similarly revolves around whether the fetus is a "life", since if it is, that automatically brings it into the public realm since more than one's own life is involved.
