State legislators, including Rep. David Meeks (R-Conway) and Sen. Missy Irvin (R-Mountain View), are seeking to enhance Arkansas’ human trafficking laws. This is good news. Human trafficking is a serious issue, and we applaud every member of the Arkansas Legislature trying to bring some much-needed attention to this problem. In our view, combating human trafficking should be a priority for anyone who values the sanctity of human life.
