The only religious right of a Christian is to love God and his fellow man, and HB 1523 protects neither of those rights. The bill is little more than a cynical and biased shell game perpetuated by selective beliefs that are anything but Christian. The very idea that such a bill could surface in what a growing number of Mississippians were beginning to hope and believe was

Also provided in the text, "Trina Garnett was the youngest of twelve children living in the poorest section of Chester, Pennsylvania just outside of Philadelphia.

Along with this, the bill also harshens the punishments for those who solicit the victims and the victimizers alike. If this bill is passed and made a law one of the limitations that will be lifted off of a victim of trafficking is that they can report the crime without any set date. Currently victims can’t report the crime if it is more than 5 years ago.

    Human Trafficking: Slavery by a New Name “If there is a single theme to this year’s Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report, it is the conviction that there is nothing inevitable about trafficking in human beings.
