Here is the truth behind the 'free sex' movement, here is the truth behind the 'safe sex' movement, here is the face of mankind degraded. Let the libertine Libertarians prattle about 'owning' your own body, here is the reality.
Are the sex slaves used in places where prostitution is legal or illegal?
Perhaps you can clue us all in - what does insanity feel like, exactly?
Sex Trafficking Goes Primetime
By Chuck Colson
Oct 24, 2005
Slave traffickers around the world have rediscovered how profitable it is to buy and sell people. Women are lured into modern-day slavery, hoping for a better life. They could all be your sister, or your best friend, or . . . your daughter. . . . Modern slavery exists only because we choose to ignore it. Now, that probably sounds to you like a quote from Ambassador Miller, who is the director of the State Departments Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Personsbut he is not the one who said it. Oscar-winning actress Mira Sorvino did.
This isnt another example, however, of a celebrity cause of the day. The quotation comes from Sorvinos character in the Lifetime Channels miniseries called Human Trafficking. Sorvino plays a New York detective working to bust an international sex-trafficking ring.
Also starring Donald Sutherland as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, the show Human Trafficking reflects a harsh, cold reality of how women and young girls across the globe are being bought and sold as sexual slaves, according to Lifetimes website, some lured . . . by mail-order bride ads. The miniseries airs tonight and tomorrow at 9:00 P.M. Eastern time. Now, I havent seen the series, so I cannot speak for its quality or its suitability for the family. But at the least, Lifetime is generating a much-needed dialogue.
In the preview, Sorvinos character quotes the Thirteenth AmendmentNeither slavery nor involuntary servitude . . . shall exist within the United Stateswhile images of victims cross the screen: students lured into what they think is modeling only to be forced into prostitution; young prostitutes brought in for the entertainment of rich male partiers; a mother blackmailed into prostitution when her three-year-old is kidnapped. These vignettes are based on true stories that the screenwriters learned about from government officials.
The series Human Trafficking makes a point of showing the presence of sex slavery right here in the United Statesand it is not fiction. Just this month, the Justice Department indicted Jaron Brice for his illegal sex trafficking operation that involved the prostitution and sexual assault of females as young as 14 years old.
For too long, the evil of sexual slavery has continued out of sight, out of mindnot any more. President Bush has spoken out on this, and our Wilberforce Forum staff has worked with senators and congressmen in the passage of the sexual trafficking act now being used to crack down on this. And now, of all things, primetime television is shining a light into the dark corners of our communities. The Lifetime Channels website provides viewers a wealth of information, including highlights of International Justice Missions work in rescuing victims, and practical ideas for what citizens can do. And visit BreakPoint.org for links to this and more information.
An ounce of cocaineyou can only sell it once, says Sutherlands character. A woman or a child: You can sell them . . . every day over and over and over again. The markup is immeasurable. Human trafficking, ladies and gentleman, is the business of the future. Sutherlands character is right. But it doesnt have to be if we Christians work, as we are doing here at BreakPoint, to get our government to enforce the laws.
You are an ass.
A Libertarian would say that what consenting adults do is no concern of others.
Those kidnapped and coerced are not consenting.
Don't try to blame this on L/libertarians.
Self-ownership has no connection to the enslavement of another person. Your connection is completely specious.
Libertarian thinking would argue for protecting people, in this case women, from degredation, violence, sexual slavery.
"Here is the truth behind the 'free sex' movement, here is the truth behind the 'safe sex' movement, here is the face of mankind degraded. Let the libertine Libertarians prattle about 'owning' your own body, here is the reality."
The selling of humans is as old as time.
What you say is the absolute truth.
In the EU they will beat down Poland because it stands up against what it sees as wrong and indecent- homosexual behavior and abortion. Ironic that the same EU that threatens Catholic Poland about human rights violations says nothing and does nothing about such issues.

It's quite a leap to go from the 'free sex' movement to enslavement. Are you saying "swingers" are somehow responsible for this type of slavery? And if so, I can't follow the logic.
