But surely the good doctors at Planned Parenthood notified the police that a young child was brought in for an abortion??? They didn't, you say . . . Oh, they were respecting her PRIVACY!
Sure. It's choice. It's privacy. It's the constitutional right to sex and pornography combined with the constitutional right to abortion, which are all bottom line issues for the left.
So, what's wrong with it, from the left's point of view? Evidently, only the slavery issue, as the NJ prosecutor suggests.
All these Sex Workers need is a good union to represent them, and their own private abortion doctor. That would correct the one issue that the New Jersey prosecutor has difficulty with, namely slavery.
I'm sure the UN Family Planning Association supports this!!
The girls called her "Sochie." She was an enforcer, ordered to beat them when they didn't hand over wages or otherwise broke the rules at the Guttenberg apartment. Sochie said she watched as her bosses ordered the Honduran illegal immigrants, some as young as 14, to work at North Jersey bars, dancing or drinking with men to pay their smuggling debts. One pregnant woman was even forced to ingest abortion pills so she could keep on working, Sochie said. The premature baby died. Federal authorities learned all this because Sochie -- whose full name is Xochil Nectalina Rosales Martinez -- told them as much. In a court hearing in Newark yesterday, Rosales Martinez detailed how the trafficking ring sneaked dozens of girls and women into Hudson County, then turned them into indentured servants. Investigators say they have found no proof of forced prostitution, but some of the women have told authorities that ring operators raped them.
Rosales Martinez pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit forced labor, the first conviction in an investigation that is likely to spawn more. During the hearing, Rosales Martinez implicated at least a half-dozen other defendants. Her admission highlighted what authorities insist is a hidden but growing problem in New Jersey and nationwide. "Given that New Jersey is such a melting pot, it's very easy for people to traffic people into the state," U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie said after the hearing. He called the crimes "reprehensible." The investigation involving Rosales-Martinez is the third major trafficking case to emerge in the Garden State in as many years.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents uncovered the ring earlier this year after a girl working at one of the Union City bars told her cousin she was not allowed to leave the bar. Rosales Martinez, 29, was among a dozen defendants who have since been charged by U.S. or Honduran officials. Investigators say the ringleader, Luisa Medrano, owned three bars and three apartments in Union City and Guttenberg, and the girls were shuttled between them under threat of violence. Medrano has pleaded not guilty and awaits trial.
At her plea hearing yesterday, Rosales Martinez stood in green prison garb and occasionally wiped away tears as she answered questions from U.S. District Judge Joel Pisano and Assistant U.S. Attorney Deborah Gannett. Rosales Martinez said it was widely known around her hometown of Olanchito, Honduras, that her cousins ran a network that smuggled girls to America. She said she herself was whisked over the border a year ago by a smuggler named Naldo, stashed in a safe house in Houston and then transported to New Jersey. Her cousins charged her $15,000 and sent Rosales Martinez to El Paisano, a bar along 22nd Street in Union City, to work off the debt. Investigators say the girls typically were ordered to mingle with male patrons, persuading them to buy drinks or pay for a dance. The girls were paid by the hour and ordered to hand over $500 a week to the smugglers.
"These weren't forced prostitution," one law enforcement source said, "but it wasn't without sexual undertones." At first, Rosales Martinez lived with other immigrants at an apartment at 2604 New York Ave., she said, speaking through a court translator. But soon after arriving, she and her husband agreed to supervise the ring's operations at a new safe house, an apartment along 68th Street in Guttenberg. It is unclear whether Rosales Martinez and her husband, who also was smuggled into the United States, had worked off their debt. "Because she was a cousin, they developed a trust relationship with her," Gannett said.
Rosales Martinez answered to two of the alleged principals in the ring, sisters Noris Elvira Rosales Martinez and Ana Luz Rosales Martinez. She said she heard them order newly arrived immigrants to work at the bars to pay off smuggling fees as high as $20,000. Last January, she said, Noris Elvira Rosales Martinez forced one woman, identified in court papers only by her initials, L.D.N., to take abortion-inducing pills after discovering she was seven months pregnant. The next day, L.D.N. gave birth to a girl in a toilet. Hours after the birth, the sisters called an ambulance but warned L.D.N. to lie about the circumstances, Rosales Martinez said. The baby died before reaching the hospital. No charges have been filed in the baby's death, but the investigation is continuing, Gannett said. Medrano's bars were shut down after she and nine others were indicted in July. Based on yesterday's plea, Rosales Martinez faces up to five years in prison, but she could receive a shorter term based on her cooperation. Her attorney, Mary Whipple, declined to comment. The judge set her sentencing for March 7. Her husband, Jose Nahun Rosales Rosales, is expected to enter a similar plea next week.
Maybe. Along with their families. Remember, the perp that ran the bars named above, the "naturalized" citizen was probably a winner from the last "shamnesty". We will get whatever has creaped across our border illegally with no vetting, including how many MS-12 gang bangers, not just the innocent.
>>>including how many MS-12 gang bangers
MS-13 ;)

I do understand your point. But this is trying to fix what the politicians/criminals/businesses have created.
Nothing is a perfect situation. Especially trying to undo what corrupt people have done.
We now have 14 year olds that have been smuggled here and forced into sex and slave jobs. What is the right answer to fixing it? And if they testify, if there family isn't brought here to safey, the child may receive their mommy's ear in the mail.
How do you fix it?
I have no problem taking a deep breath and hoping for the best with bringing the family here.
I will have a screaming fit though if these investigations don't get up to the profiting enablers.
::still waiting for some punishment to come to our ex governor who had their own illegal domestic help::
Gee folks what is all the fuss about. Sure any forced labor is human trafficking but I got to be apart of it. I had to get a draft card for the Viet Nam party to help Spiro T. Agnew with his income tax evasion. Every man in the U.S. is reguired by law if he is between the ages of 18 and 26 to get a draft card. It is a $250,000 fine and/or 5 years in prison and a felony not to get one , just because your a man. Oh, I forgot and if you are Hillary too. She had to get one by law I think or she would not be driving the bus. But if I did not do as I am told and be availabled for labor I would have gotten great sex in prison and maybe my head wacked a couple of time. So I alway go to jury duty too so that I will not be jailed. I know I must do as I am told and go to jury duty else I get charged with contempt of court. Then if I do not have the money to pay the nice judge, I go over to the county prison and get to do some community service. Sure I have no choice in any of this but Hillary will tell she want to drive the big bus and call up us guy and send us off under her orders which the law on selective service exempts her from. I was so thrilled to hear Judge Judy on tv make a remark to a young man around 17 years old , that "all he thought about at his age is what is between his legs". This was an astonishing revelation of human biology. Who'd ever have guessed? But then again when I was that young mans age I had to think about coming back in a pine box with a pretty flag on it so the cute judge can make that remark and her exempt. I am not saying that if a man does not register at selective service he is choosing to do as he pleases. I am saying that he better do it or go to jail. And he better do his jury duty or be forced off to jail.
Now how do I get on that jury?
Wow, this is industrial grade stupidity.
You are either the dumbest jackass in history or a Democrat presidential candidate.
It's hard to tell, the idiocy is ominously similar.
If you can't tell the difference between slavery and selective service, then nothing anyone could say to you would possibly get through to you.
Please, don't breed. We have enough mouth breathers on the welfare rolls, we don't need more.
All your base are belong to us.
>and other social services provided by the U.S. government
And paid for by the US taxpayer!
