Theological note: The measure bears on the protection of human persons from being treated as commodities and on the duty to restrain exploitation and seek justice for victims. Scripture's concern for the vulnerable, for the sanctity of human life and body, and for the restraint of those who profit by violence and oppression makes this issue morally relevant. This is an issue-relevance note, not a final candidate judgment.
