Why is pornography still alive and not illegal? Why doesn’t the government do about tricking women into them?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

…criminals.

Full-screen Xbox handheld UI is coming to all Windows PCs “starting next year” - Ars Technica

But don’t mistake your personal opinion for Moral Truth or the law of the land. If it were, I’d have eggplants (aubergine for you Brits) banned tomorrow.

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

What your preacher says isn’t worth a wet fart through used toilet paper. Your preacher might say it’s a sin to eat pork or have sex on Sunday or cut your hair in certain ways or whatever, but that doesn’t make it the law of the land.

Why do people hate Nickelback so much? What makes them different from other popular bands like Linkin Park, Green Day, etc.? Is it just because they're Canadian or what?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

Look, this is simple, so I’ll type slowly: The more open, legitimate, and free porn production is, the fewer women are trafficked. Why on earth would you take the risk of trafficking people to force them to do something plenty of people are willing to do voluntarily?

Why is my ex trying to provoke an argument with me?

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

Make a list of the countries that most stringently ban porn, with the harshest penalties.

Why am I so unproductive when it's a holiday the next day?

Normal people know that what your particular preachers say has no bearing on what is or is not legal.

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

What nonsense did you hear today in India that made you laugh?

Criminals who won’t hesitate to traffic people, if it makes them money. The way you solve the problem is to remove the financial incentive to traffic people.

Finally, “oh wow I want to protect the wimmens all the poor poor wimmens” ah HA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha no you heckin’ don’t.

Make a list of the countries where women are treated as second-class citizens or property.

Does eating bread before bed make you fat? If so, why?

If you ask anti-porn crusaders why porn should be banned, you will usually get three answers: “My preacher says the invisible god I worship says it’s wrong,” “sex is icky yucky ick ick ick unless it happens between people I say it should happen between, in situations I say it should happen in,” and “lookit all the women who are hurt by porn, I totally care about saving women (but not respecting their autonomy, offering them paid maternity leave, or, you know, doing any of those other things that would materially improve women’s lives).”

When you ban porn, you turn porn production into a criminal enterprise. Criminal enterprises are run by…

The number of women willing to do porn voluntarily is staggeringly high. Like you wouldn’t even believe.

Who is Meghan Markle and why is she so controversial on the Internet?

Say by creating an environment where people do the thing voluntarily, et voila.
