Two versions of bills aimed at sex trafficking are being kicked around by legislators. The SAVE Act (Stop Advertising Victims of Exploitation) passed out of the House last year. The Senate version — the much-less-acronymically-catchy JVTA (Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act) is looking to be no better than the House‘s version, thanks to a last-minute proposed amendment from Senator Mark Kirk, who‘s been dying to kill off Backpages.com‘s adult advertising for quite some time now. And Kirk was able to get this terrible amendment added as part of the „Senate deal“ to finally confirm Loretta Lynch as our new Attorney General.
