Sex trade in the United States

So the other day I picked up a random book off the library shelf.  They have a shelf with new books and I always peruse it every time I am there...I sometimes read books that I would not normally find except that they are obviously there on the shelf.  This last time I picked up this book called, Renting Lacy.  It is a book that talks about how prevalent the sex trade is in America, right here under our noses.  Many of us are minding our business and in our neighborhoods, our state, and all across our country are girls being abducted and then being brain washed and manipulated by the pimps who pose as their boyfriends and their savior out of dysfunctional situations.  Many of these girls have already experienced abuse from the hands of supposed loving family members- sexually and physically so they almost expect this kind of abuse...

I am flabbergasted at how much of a demand there is for prostitutes, I think I read 100,000 per year.  I am appalled at how many of our young girls are being mugged, manipulated, and molested in order to get them to comply...I cannot believe that there are men who want them as young as possible all the while they have their wives and children waiting for them at home.  They go to a conference in another city and this is the kind of behavior that many engage in....it is too much to fathom and to believe.  I cannot understand how anyone can justify this kind of behavior.  I cannot understand that anyone can look down upon  the girls and then be a part of this is any way.  The girls are the victims and yet the "johns" or the buyers or the pimps get off scott free.  It is astounding that all of this happens in a the "home of the free and the brave...." and not only here, but all around the world. 

It is abolutely demonic!  There is no other way to explain the magnitude of this evil!  Why do we allow ourselves to be duped into such evil?  Are we that blind?  And we who point fingers at the women who are being used and victimized and not even realizing that the demand is what drives this whole thing- and wherever there is demand, there is the possibility of a lot of money...which means there will be exploitation...They are dying in their souls, used up, hurting, lost, unloved, zombies really...they don't even fit back into society...they need our love, not our disdain...It reminds me of when Jesus met with the woman who was an adultress..."he who is without sin, pick up the first stone...and where are your accusers?"  The guy wasn't even being stoned- why is that?  Why is there no true justice?  Lord, have mercy on us.  Lord, have mercy on those girls caught in Satan's trap and they don't know how to get out...please help them, save them and redeem their life from the pit...
