Tell Senator Pat Toomey: stop playing politics with trafficking survivors

Human trafficking is horrific: women and girls sold into labor and sex trafficking against their will. Their freedom stolen, they are tortured and repeatedly raped – eighty percent ending up pregnant, often multiple times.

A Senate bill, supported by both parties, would help survivors of sex trafficking get their lives back on track, but anti-choice Republicans refuse to support it unless survivors are denied access to abortion care.

My added comment:
"If there are any women who don't need moralizing restrictions on their reproductive choices it's victims of human trafficking. To use a bill of this nature to further anti-choice agenda is despicable."

The republicans tried to pull a slick one, they got caught.
