Sex trafficking is one of the most heinous acts against children in America. If you thought there was universal support within the political and media realms to go after the filthy culprits exploiting children and adults you’d be mistaken. Sex trafficking and abortion go hand-in-hand.
Abortion is a necessary cog that keeps the sex trafficking machinery humming. Without it, many victims would be sidelined by pregnancy.
In a paper titled The Health Consequences of Sex Trafficking and Their Implications for Identifying Victims in Healthcare Facilities, the authors base their findings on a study of survey respondents – over 100 women and girls who were trafficking victims or survivors in the USA. The average respondent reported having 13 sexual encounters a day, some reporting as many as 30 to 50.
Of the 66 who gave an answer regarding the number of pregnancies they experienced, 71.2% said they had at least one while being trafficked, 21.2% of these reported five or more pregnancies. 55.2% of them reported at least one abortion and 29.9% reported multiple abortions.

The popular film The Sound of Freedom took on sex trafficking, yet media moguls were intent onnot letting it see the light of day. Disney refused to release it and Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu declined to stream it. In spite of these challenges Angel Studios has streamed it, and over 4,000 theatres showed the film.
It would be reasonable to ask why some declined to show the obviously popular film that made such a dramatic and definitive statement against human sex trafficking. I suspect we would be shocked and appalled by their honest answers.
The divide between Republicans and Democrats.
Idaho Governor Brad Little, a Republican, signed legislation meant to keep vulnerable minors and those who protect them one step ahead of “abortion traffickers.” Governor Little said, “The ‘abortion trafficking’ provision in the bill seeks only to prevent unemancipated minor girls from being taken across state lines for an abortion without the knowledge and consent of her parent or guardian.” The law was signed one month after Planned Parenthood opened an abortion center a mere mile into Oregan past the Idaho border.
It’s interesting to see who lined up for and against the legislation.
Planned Parenthood filed a suit against the bill. No surprise there. Many survivors of sex trafficking say they were routinely taken to Planned Parenthood because they didn’t ask any questions. The welfare of trafficked victims takes a backseat to the money generated by abortions.
20 Democrat attorneys general signed an amicus brief in support of the lawsuit against the bill to protect young girls from abortion trafficking.
The UN weighs in.
On International Women’s Day last year, organizations backed by the United Nations released a report outlining their approach to criminal laws regarding sex with minors. The report’s stated goal is to address how criminal law can violate the rights of “vulnerable groups” – i.e., pedophiles – and pushes a “workable legal framework” to protect them, not their victims!
Abortion and sex trafficking are pure evil, and these forces of evil are getting bolder and more aggressive in how far they’ll go. Evil has no limits. It does not say we will go this far and no further.
The forces of good must rise up and defend the victims of evil.
