    I was getting excited Patricia until I realised this is an American court ruling, and not over here!

    Exactly. Over here the very Preamble of our Constitution has been used to justify the theocracy that was once in place:

    In the Name of the Most Holy Trinity, from Whom is all authority and to Whom, as our final end, all actions both of men and States must be referred,
    We, the people of Éire,
    Humbly acknowledging all our obligations to our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ, Who sustained our fathers through centuries of trial,
    Gratefully remembering their heroic and unremitting struggle to regain the rightful independence of our Nation,
    And seeking to promote the common good, with due observance of Prudence, Justice and Charity, so that the dignity and freedom of the individual may be assured, true social order attained, the unity of our country restored, and concord established with other nations,
    Do hereby adopt, enact, and give to ourselves this Constitution.

    Taking it out of an Iris context for a minute, just WHAT THE FECK PLACE has religion in anti-trafficking anyway?

    Least of all the Catholic Church that has a far worse record for trafficking in itself than any other religion I can think of.
