Jack Abramoff helped Tom DeLay craft policy that extended exemptions from federal immigration and mimimum-wage labor laws to Saipan industries, though the island is part of the U.S. Commonwealth. Brian Ross at ABC News for 20/20 on March 13, 1998 alleged that factories on Saipan have forced their workers to have abortions in order to keep their jobs.

In addition, Abramoff's lobbying team helped Rep. Ralph Hall (R-TX) craft statements attacking the credibility of "Katrina," a teenaged sex slave who federal officials relocated to Hawaii and who testified to federal investigators and Congress about the sex trade on that island, in the process forestalling a federal criminal prosecution.

When do we get to connect the entire Republican Party to child prostitution and forced abortions? Oh wait, we recognize how heinous that kind of horrible behavior is and so we rise above it. Sorry about that.

1. It's beyond time to take off the gloves...
And yes, this comes from a woman with a peace sign in her sigline!
