It leads to misogyny and violence against women and is a contributing factor in sexual trafficking."<br />-----------------------------------<br />"pornography is a common cause of the destruction of marriage."?<br /><br />How would Trueman know? You might as well say that pornography is a result of a devastated marriage. Or you might as well say that pornography can save your marriage. It is just as speculative.<br /><br />"It leads to misogyny and violence against women" <br /><br />The same women who voluntary contribute to the sex industry?<br /><br />"it is a contributing factor in sexual trafficking"<br /> <br />Yes, if you make distribution of hard-core adult pornography illegal.<br />-----------------------------------<br /><br />Whatever one’s view is on pornography and obscenity, one would hope that if the GOP candidates can take the time to endorse MIM’s war on porn, that they could also endorse progressive policies that would be guaranteed to strengthen families. These include mandating paid vacation days — the United States is the only developed nation that lacks them — sick leave, parental leave, and other policies that allow families time to spend together.<br /><br />http://bit.ly/x7OsZkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
