Note: Since this was written Loretta Lynch has be confirmed and sworn in as Attorney General.
The Republican-led Senate held back confirmation of Loretta Lynch's as Attorney General in response to a disagreement with Democrats over a human trafficking bill.
Who could oppose a bill to combat human trafficking? Really No One. Then what is the problem?
The Republican Leadership refuses to let the human trafficking bill pass unless it has language that will impose forced birth on teenage sex slaves. They are refusing to hold a confirmation vote on Loretta Lynch unless they can keep the provision that will impose forced birth on teenage sex slaves. And they are so desperate that they have scheduled five cloture votes that they know will fail in an attempt to ram through the language that will impose forced birth on teenage sex slaves.

Now, it's true that there's a number of the conservative movement that overtly cheers forced birth for teenage sex slaves, but didn't Sen. McConnell say that the new Republican majority in the Senate would be a force for reason and collaboration? Well, it seems instead that Senate Republicans are giving their extremist colleagues in the House a run for their money. With a special emphasis on making sure that kids who are forced into prostitution bear the offspring of the men who raped them.
Existing law has included annual restrictions on taxpayer spending for abortion for decades. In the proposed bill a victims' fund is envisioned that would be made up of fees paid by criminals. The Democrats say applying restrictions on abortion spending to that victims' fund money is a restriction they can't accept. A very simple way of stating the Republican position, young girls held as sex slaves, raped and forced into prostitution who become pregnant can not have an abortion, period. It doesn't make any difference who pays for it, even money from the criminals who lead to their pregnancies.
So much for "welfare queens" having babies to grab taxpayer money, so much for two parent families. You know, family values. Who would have guessed the Republicans in Congress would be leading the effort for kidnapped, young girls being forced to have children of their rapist captors.
