After the tragic death of his wife and losing custody of his little girl, James is at the darkest crossroad of his life. Angry, desperate, and unable to hold down a steady job, he agrees to drive a box truck on a shady, one-time trip cross country for cash &#8212; no questions asked.

In a lecture given last summer at the Family Research Council she said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Sexual exploitation is a $99 billion industry. Trafficking is highly profitable that&#8217;s why [women and girls] are forced to have sex so many times a day with these men and so pimps turn to abortion to keep\u00a0victims working, and victims are often coerced or forced to abort. The abortion industry stands to make a profit from\u00a0this &#8211; as they do from everything else &#8211; because for them, it&#8217;s money. Planned Parenthood and other abortion facilities are often complicit with sex trafficking.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In an article published in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.charismanews.com\/opinion\/40612-the-wicked-connection-between-human-trafficking-and-abortions\">Charisma News<\/a>, Robert Schwarzwalder writes\u00a0how Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the nation&#8217;s largest abortion provider, has shown a willingness to aid and abet in this deviant, abusive enterprise.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ArticleAd2\">\n<p><!-- \/1011927\/LAN_300_BY_250_mid_article --><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1473179101244-0\" class=\"ArticleAd2a\"><script>\ngoogletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1473179101244-0'); });\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>After viewing\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/\">Live Action<\/a>&#8216;s undercover filming of underage abortion at PPFA clinics, Dottie Laster, an expert on child trafficking,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/themorningafter.us\/tag\/polaris-project\/\">wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">After viewing the Planned Parenthood video my first thoughts were of the victims I have served over the last eight years. Specifically the women and girls\u2014their horrendous statements of rape, gang rapes, torture, branding, starvation, extortions, assault and their reports of repeated forced abortions and miscarriages due to the trauma they received. I have often wondered where these multiple abortions took place and how medical professionals had not seen the extensive trauma to their bodies, spirits and souls.<\/p>\n<p>Priceless is the first film from the Smallbone brothers (Joel, Luke, David, and Ben).
