• In [India] and across the globe, hundreds and thousands of children, as young as three, as young as four, are sold into sexual slavery.

They are sold in the name of forced labor, camel jockeying, anything, everything.

It secures as well the liberty of each man to decide for himself what he will read and to what he will listen. The Constitution guarantees, in short, a society of free choice.
