Why do Democrats love human sex trafficking?

Expand full comment

The Senate Republicans better watch out when the Democrats file their bill, the Justice for Victims of Non-human Sex Trafficking Act.

Why the fuck didn't someone read the shit before getting it out of committee???? On a related note, I am like so furiously writing a letter to my shitbag senators. One of them is the sponsor of this bill and is so so sad about this. Of course, he leaves out the part where he added abortion shit to a bill about SEX, where unwanted pregnancies are probably like, right fucking there, goddammit! But you know it's identical to the last bill, democrats just hate freedoms, children, and reading, and love forced sex.

He doesn't give a shit about bipartisanship. When this bill inevitably fails the Republicans get to claim that they "took a stand for life" and the evil babby murdering liberals thwarted them. Keep sending money so the rethugs can keep making fake stands and attempting to force their values on everyone else!

And the republicans are helping it right along. Forcing a pregnant person to carry a pregnancy they don't want is just a different form of human trafficking.

Virginia Blue really should learn how to set an alt-text . . . maybe Dok could teach it in his masters class.

a Wonkateer once said (in the nonexistent comments)

"...fucking is a biological imperative more powerful than the collective opprobrium of even the USA's vast array of scolds."

[someone own up to it, please]

Great, you all just extended the lifespan of the "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it" for the #tcot patriots who cite it at every chance (after 57 States and Corpsman.)

Is Mitch's career turning turtle?

Well this will speed up the passing of even the most ordinary of bills in the future, for certain!

In response, Democratic Senators published an open letter to human traffickers informing them that any laws against human trafficking passed by this Congress can simply be undone by the next Congress.
