BREAKING: Bachmann pledges to ban pornography | ThinkProgress

BREAKING: BACHMANN PLEDGES TO BAN PORNOGRAPHY | Tonight, Michele Bachmann became the first presidential candidate to sign a pledge created by THE FAMiLY LEADER, an influential social-conservative group in Iowa. By signing the pledge Bachmann “vows” to “uphold the institution of marriage as only between one man and one woman” by committing herself to 14 specifics steps. The ninth step calls for the banning of “all forms” of pornography. The pledge also states that homosexuality is both a choice and a health risk. You can read all the details of the pledge here.

And it says that homosexuality is both a choice and a health risk.

"Small government Conservatism" at it's finest.

Edit:

I didn't see the footnotes, I'll admit. If she was just referring to child pornography then I was incorrect in my OP.

That being said, the vow was written pretty poorly then. I read it originally as women and the future generation of this country later on, not today. Because why mention women and banning all forms of pornography in the same sentence if you mean to ban only child pornography?

But again, if the pledge refers to just child pornography, then I was incorrect in posting my OP and was wrong.

Edit #2:

http://www.talkradionews.com/news/2...bachmann-didnt-pledge-to-ban-pornography.html

When reached for comment, Bob Vander Plaats, the organization’s president, appeared surprised that the language has been interpreted as a call to outlaw adult entertainment.

“We are not calling for a nationwide band on pornography,” Vander Plaats said during a phone interview. “The bullet point doesn’t even come close to calling for that.”

Vander Plaats explained that the language was meant to imply opposition to women being forced into pornography or prostitution, a far cry from the Think Progress headline: BREAKING: Bachmann pledges to ban pornography

When men become weak and useless then women takeover.

Michele Bachmann for president. Vote for Michele Bachmann.

There was a powerful mughal king. When enemy attacked his kingdom, the men were sacred and they were hiding and not fighting. Then the Muslim women started beating their men and forced them to fight the enemy.

So said the Supreme Court...

Whinging again?

Funny thing. I read the pledge she supposedly signed, it does not say anything about homosexuality that is not absolutely true. It points out that not a single peer reviewed study has ever proven that homosexuality is not a choice, or that it cannot be resisted.

As for banning pornography, it doesn't say that either. What it calls for is humanely protecting children, and women, from sexual slavery, human trafficking, being seduced into promiscuity, and all forms of pornography and prostitution. I don't agree with all of that, but the last time I looked all of that was already illegal. Do you have an objection to eliminating child pornography and prostitution for some reason?

As for the Sharia law thing, what that calls for, and I quote, is "Rejection of Sharia Islam and all other anti-woman, anti-human rights forms of totalitarian control."

I really do not understand why people who claim they support women's rights support Sharia Islam in the first place, but you are certainly proving how stupid it is to do so. Maybe if you actually read the stuff the trash you do read talks about you would learn that the stuff you trad is trash.

When American men went to fight in World War 1 and 2 then American women took controls of USA.

Today American women should start beating their men and force them to destroy pornography and Obama madness because American men are the weakest in the world and they are getting useless.

 

[peace2011]

The majority of internet traffic is pornography, and probably over three quarters of the male population with access to it, use it, so there's going to be a hell of a lot of murderers and rapists in the near future. In fact, that's pretty much all society is going to consist of.

According to statistics, 40% of visitors to porn sites are women.

---------------------------

Every second $5000 or $158 Billion per year (Porn industry)

1) 12% of the websites on the internet are pornographic, that's 24,644,172 sites

2) 25% of all search engine requests are porn related.

3) Every second, $3,075.64 is spent on pornography. Every second 28,258 internet users are veiwing porn.

4) 40 million americans are regular visitors to porn sites. 1 in 3 porn viewers are women (ok, this surprises me).

5) The entire worldwide porn industry is worth $4.9 billion. In the US, internet porn is worth $2.84 billion.

6) 2.5 billion emails per day are pornographic.

7) 35% of all internet downloads are porn related.

"sex", "adult dating", "porn" are the most popular search terms.

9) Utah has the nation's highest online porn subscription rate per thousand home broadband users at 5.47 (Utah? Home of mormons?)

10) 34% of internet users have received unwanted porn.

11) There are 116,000 searches for "child porn" every day (now, that's evil).

12) The average age at which a child first sees porn online is 11.

13) 20% of men admit to watching porn online at work. Likewise, 13% of women do (really?)

14) The least popular day of the year for viewing porn is Thanksgiving. The most popular day of the week for viewing porn? Sunday.

I think blog sites with "Progress" in their title might be slightly suspect. It's not very hard to float ridiculous stories about candidates using stereotypes that have been used for decades. Sarah Palin burned books at one time don't you know.

This is how the ninth step reads.......it's simply terrible.

Humane protection of women and the innocent fruit of conjugal intimacy – our next generation of American children – from human trafficking, sexual slavery, seduction into promiscuity, and all forms of pornography and prostitution, infanticide, abortion and other types of coercion or stolen innocence.

It's just plain terrible to pledge to that.....let me tell yah.

Btw.....it's supposed to be a personal vow....if that matters a damn in this discussion. The banning of it is not mentioned in the this step thus an outright lie.

This is supposed to be a pledge to protect children from pornography.

Those things are not anti-woman just obviously not in support of the liberated woman of the here and now crowd.

Bachmann signs pledge that calls for banning all forms of Pornography

I agree with Michele on most issues, but this is not the Governments place.

Either is Prositution, Smoking Bans, Helmet and Seat Laws, etc.

I want Freedom now!!!!
