As opposed to, say, guns.

This week, Republican delegates are meeting in committee to lay out the 2016 version of their party’s platform document ― a non-binding declaration of #squadgoals that will generate a few days of stories like this one before being largely forgotten. This year’s platform committee has taken dead aim at one of the few successful industries left in America, besides drone warfare and hot takes about Kevin Durant’s free agency decisions. I refer, of course, to pornography.

Yahoo News’ Liz Goodwin reports:

Republican delegates unanimously adopted an amendment to their draft platform Monday morning that called pornography “a public health crisis” and a “public menace” that is destroying lives.

“Pornography, with his harmful effects, especially on children, has become a public health crisis that is destroying the life of millions. We encourage states to continue to fight this public menace and pledge our commitment to children’s safety and well being,” the amendment stated.

According to Goodwin, the stronger language, identifying porn as a “public health crisis,” was pushed by a North Carolina delegate named Mary Forrester at the behest of the conservative Christian group Concerned Women for America. This quite a step beyond what the 2012 GOP platform document had to say about pornography, which I can quote in its entirety:

We urge active prosecution against child pornography, which is closely linked to the horrors of human trafficking. Current laws on all forms of pornography and obscenity need to be vigorously enforced.

Whether or not pornography can be considered an “insidious epidemic,” as Forrester argues, I’d wager that it hasn’t really been the most pressing concern for most Americans lately ― nor has it made many headlines. Of course, one public health crisis that has made headlines, and that does have a lot of Americans feeling sick and scared and helpless, is gun violence ― especially in the form of mass shootings,which have surged even as overall gun violence has declined.

Very interesting. I wonder if they've shared any of this information with Trump?

As opposed to ... say ... abortion.

Well the GOP has to cry about something to appease their far right religious fanatics.

So let them cry.
 
This likely killed my pornography thread.

Wow, three minutes apart...
 

So don't let your wife or child around him.

I've said before, I'll vote for a fornicating, transgenered muslim black woman as long as I believe she will ferverently defend the principles of the constitution I think should be defended.

I think Trump is a disaster.

I don't think any more of Hillary.

And spare me the qualifications....anyone with those qualifications would be easy victor.

Her problem....nobody trusts her.
 



My point (that you obviously missed) was that you totally gloss over what perverted, globalist thieves the Clintons are by attacking Trump that is a mere piker compared to the Clintons. I have no dog in this fight because I do not participate in the elections of this banana republic....but I sure like tweaking the noses of "knows-nothing" leftard trolls such as yourself. (snicker)
 



Dick Morris, Larry Nichols..both Clinton insiders? The Clintons is a marriage of convenience...both of them are bi-sexual and swingers. Bill Clinton once confided in Larry Nichols that Hillary has ate more pussy then he has. She called in the muscle using private investigators and state troopers to send a message to those that either had slept with Bill "drop trou" or had been sexually assaulted by him to make them keep their mouths shut....that qualifies as "enabling" to me.
 
Trump told his minions to check out a sex tape allegedly made by 1996 Miss Universe winner Machado.

Should a Republican nominee be recommending pornography if it is such a big problem?
 
The new democrat outrage. I never would have taken them for such prudes since democrats want pedophilia considered a sexual orientation.
