If women are punished for sex with men outside of marriage, but men are not, this raises a question of equality before the law. Such a question can be answered, in principle, either by extending punishment to men or by abolishing punishment for women - in both cases both sexes would be equal.
If one aims at the end of prostitution as such, one might try punishing both women and men equally, and see if it works.
If one aims at a so-called pragmatic solution, i.e. one that takes into account the futility of all attempts to stop prostitution altogehter during the ages, and if one resolves to just try and reduce the harm that is being inflicted by prostitution on both the prostitutes themselves and on others, one might try decriminalization.
Both these belief systems and strategies have had their lieux.
In Scandinavia, equal punishment was used in order to stop prostitution.
In other countries, decriminalization  was being tried.
Ideological opposition still exists. The question is: what does abolitioism mean?
