Parental organizations oppose obscenity.
Feminist groups oppose obscenity. In fact Gloria Steinem founded the group Woman Against Pornography.
In fact, the majority of Americans oppose obscenity.Now, this ^ is an old poll, 1997.
Backing for vigorous enforcement [of obscenity law] was found in all demographic groups, including
women (87%),
men (72%),
high school graduates (85%),
college graduates (82%),
whites (81%),
blacks (78%),
singles (72%),
married people (83%),
married with children (85%),
married without children (69%),
Catholics (82%),
Baptists (80%)
"born again" Christians (85%),
Republicans (79%),
Democrats (77%),
Independents (85%),
those who approve the President's job performance (80%)
and those who do not (81%).
Support for enforcement was highest among 18-to-34-year-old women, at 90%, but "only 60% of men in the same age group agree," Wirthlin reported.
This was "the most striking difference in support levels" among age cohorts.

This one is from 2002:But I appreciate you revealing your anti-religious bias.PUBLIC OPINION
Enough is Enough: Protecting our Children Online
- Eight out of ten Americans (81%) believe federal laws against Internet obscenity should be vigorously enforced, and seven out of ten (70%) believe that strongly. A higher percentage of women support vigorous enforcement of federal laws against Internet obscenity than men -- 90% versus 72% (Wirthlin Survey, 2002).
- On the other hand, seven out of ten Americans (70%) say they do not believe these laws are currently being vigorously enforced (Wirthlin Survey, 2002).
Now feel free to tell 80% of the population, the state legislature, the state judiciary, the federal legislature, the federal judiciary and the Supreme Court to "fuck off" because we all know the solution to laws we oppose is to ignore them and do whatever we want. Right?
Anti religious bias? No. Anti religious government bias. Absolutely. With porn as rampant as it is, I don't believe that that many men want it illegal. It's a moral and religious laws that Im not upset about being violated. And nice straw man at the end saying I think we can do whatever we want. I'm sorry if you want the country run as a theocracy.
And since I'm sure 80 percent of the south was pro slavery, I'm sure you'd agree with ignoring laws about not rescuing slaves...No wait... Ignoring them Would be out of procedure.
First, Santorum is not talking about pornography, he is referring to Obscenity Laws.
Second, these laws have already been approved by Congress, Upheld by the Supreme Court and enforced by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Is it your contention that we are living under a theocracy right now???
Is it your contention that we have been living under a theocracy for the last 20 years???
Because if that is your contention you have left the realm of logic and reason and are living in a anti-religion fueled dream world.
There you go again the anti religion. I'm against religion and morals controlling government. Worship whomever you like on whatever manner you like.
