The Impact of the 2008 Election and Its Impact on Federal Obscenity Laws
But I would maintain that what has now become a floodtide of obscenity is one of the most pressing moral problems of our time, primarily because of its effects on marriages and children. Most hardcore pornography is also degrading to women and much of it depicts violence against women. The floodtide of obscenity also undermines the right of every American to live in a decent society and undermines our military’s efforts to curb religiously based terrorism. I also think that our nation is at a crucial juncture in the war against obscenity.”
