Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act, Senate Abortion Dispute

The Senate's bipartisan human trafficking bill has stalled due to a dispute over a provision banning the use of funds for abortions. Democrats, led by Minority Whip Dick Durbin, claim they were misled by staff regarding the language, while Republicans like Deb Fischer deny any ill intent. The hosts analyze the gridlock, suggesting that congressional members may be reluctant to pass strict penalties for "Johns" due to their own potential involvement with sex workers.
