Human trafficking victims put on hold by political gridlock
Lawmakers from both parties had come together in recent weeks to combat human trafficking with a bill to help victims. But now senators are in a standoff over a stipulation that bans the use of special funds for victims' abortions. Judy Woodruff talks to Bradley Myles of Polaris and Holly Austin Smith, an advocate and a trafficking survivor, about how predators lure victims and what’s at stake.
