Senate Democrats have objected to an abortion-related provision in a Cornyn bill to increase penalties for human trafficking and add protection for victims.

‘My hope is this: that Members of the United States Senate will rise above…this posturing, this attempt to try to play gotcha at the expense of these victims of human trafficking.’
