Obama Suddenly Interested in Sex Trafficking

In Obama’s speech at the Clinton Global Initiative he revealed his sudden interest in combating human trafficking. One might wonder why Obama waited until there was only six weeks left in his term to announce a new initiative fighting the sale of young girls into the sex trade.

 

The President might want to begin his new initiative by taking a look at the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), which operated the US government’s largest and most effective victims’ support programs in the country until Obama’s own Secretary Kathleen Sebelius pulled the plug. As of this year, hundreds of sex trafficking victims can no longer turn to the USCCB for help, because the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) knows the organization doesn’t share its “abortion first” mentality.

 

In a shocking display of ideological bias, Secretary Sebelius decided that the Bishops weren’t pro-abortion enough to serve young women and dropped the agency’s partnership with an organization that had helped more than 2,700 victims. Under HHS’s own evaluation process, the USCCB had scored “excellent” marks for rescuing suffering girls with food, shelter, and medical care. Unfortunately, the Obama administration is so intent on promoting abortion that it will step on trafficking victims to protect it.

 

Need another place to “initiate,” Mr. President? Try Planned Parenthood. Lila Rose showed the world that the abortion giant is a willing partner in the dark world of sex slavery and child prostitution, when it caught seven Planned Parenthood employees on tape willing to aid and abet people in the trafficking business.

 

Where was President Obama’s concern then, when this “modern slavery” was enabled by his comrades at taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood?
