Nice, but it wasn't quite what I expected. The words "even the right" had me wondering if somebody from, let's say, National Review had come out in favor of sex work decrim. The R Street Institute may fit many people's definition of a right-wing organization, but this doesn't look like the shifting of political winds that "even the right" may suggest.

Their president describes it as “right-of-center.”

Reason magazine, too, can justifiably be called right of center, but it's a "dog bites man" type of story whenever it publishes a call to decriminalize sex work. Your phrase "even the right" falsely implied a "man bites dog" story, such as if National Review, for example, had gone there.

Reason would never call themselves right of center. But if the accusation is that I wrote a clickbait headline, it won’t be the first or last time 😉
