GOP Sneaks Anti-Abortion Language Into Bipartisan Human Trafficking Bill

Source: Huffington Post

WASHINGTON -- The fate of what should have been noncontroversial legislation to crack down on human trafficking is uncertain after Democrats discovered that Republicans had slipped anti-abortion language into the bill.

The Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act, introduced by Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), creates a fund to help victims by using fees charged to traffickers. It easily passed the Senate Judiciary Committee with bipartisan support late last month.

But Democrats learned this week that the legislation contains Hyde Amendment language, which restricts federal funding for abortion and other health care services. They're vowing to hold up the entire bill until the controversial provision is removed.

Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards said women who are trafficking victims should be able to have access to safe abortions.

"A bill that was supposed to help women is instead being used to hurt women," Richards said. "The Senate should protect victims of human trafficking, but should not do so at the expense of women's access to safe and legal abortion. The majority of human trafficking victims are women and girls, and they need access to the full range of reproductive health care services without barriers."

It's the only way these measures would ever have a chance. Of course, sometimes the aim is to kill a bill, but one can tell the difference by how easily the rider is spotted.

So many in Congress don't actually read the bills before voting. Bury the crap so it never makes it into a synopsis, and we all get hit when their shit hits the fan.

And there's special misogynistic bent to hiding it in a trafficking bill.

And let's not forget - one of these sneaky little shits and TRAITORS will be picking the next Supreme Court justices if anybody in our tribe decides not to vote in 2016. For whatever reason.

do not support religious charities. Look what Rick Warren did in Africa with the "kill the gays" propaganda.

These are the same people who think that a woman should have a child when they get pregnant from being raped.

Yes, Boehner is bowing and kissing Netanyahu's hand, a sign of fealty to a foreign leader. And Daesh and Boko Harum are human traffickers who sell kidnapped women as sex slaves and concubines. Pretty consistent by the GOP.
