2. we should start a fund, a private fund

to help women and girls who are rescued from sex traffickers and who are pregnant... to either provide them shelter and pre-natal care until their babies are born OR travel funds and pregnancy termination fees so that they can get a safe legal abortion of their rapists fetus.

If they choose to have the baby, we should provide them some support to raise the child or support should they decide to put it up for adoption.

I wonder how many pregnancies we are talking about here? How much money would need to be in the fund?

The Dems completely caved on this one just to get Ms Lynch her vote (according to what I've read).
