Around the world approximately 27,000,000 people are victims of human trafficking. It is a billion-dollar industry that is all around us. What many do not know however, is that the abortion industry directly enables sex traffickers and abusers. Women who are trafficked are forced to abort their children to hide the evidence of what is happening. This week we are joined by Laura Hughes and Lisa Thomas as they uncover the truth about the abortion industry and human trafficking.

Her story has shaped her into a dynamic, sought after, speaker and author whose testimony is not only compelling but genuinely inspirational. She believes that there is hope for every life, and loves sharing that hope with others.
Lisa’s newest book, Light In Our Darkness, written with former radio co-host Kathy Gray, is an outstanding must-read. It tackles the pervading question, “why are some lives deemed throwaway while others are cherished?”
