Gay porno or just regular porno?

YEAH let's push porn underground. You'll have more people with aids, more child pornography and more criminal involvement, but who cares, right? Because now consenting adults won't be able to watch OTHER consenting adults in motel rooms! WIN/WIN!!!
I bet he's talking about gay porn.
And now we know why Santorum is so gungho with the idea. I mean, the elite have to go somewhere else now that Sandusky has been shutdown.
He literally wants a "war on pornography."

Ok, so now I'm picturing myself driving north on I-83 in Maryland, for example, and I notice the big "Welcome to Pennsylvania" sign, and there's a man and woman under it, the man with his feet in Maryland and the woman with her hands and knees in Pennsylvania and film crew on various sides, because that's about the only way I can figure internet porn can have anything to do with interstate commerce.
There are no crimes against people.
There are only crimes against the state.
And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.
Does anyone know which laws he is talking about? He says there are already laws against pornography that aren't being enforced?
Is this true?Current federal “obscenity” laws prohibit distribution of hardcore (obscene) pornography on the Internet
lol, + rep for laughsHe literally wants a "war on pornography."
Another small government conservative.
We should enforce existing laws, if they in fact do exist. Pornography is a terrible scourge on the country, but I don't see it being enforceable to ban it. Personally I would love for it to be completely banned, but politically, I don't want the Federal government to have that kind of power.
When you say you want to "ban" pornography, do you mean you want it to not exist because people no longer demand it, or you want to use violence against non-violent citizens?

I don't think Jesus would approve of using violence against non-violent people. Seems very un-Christian to me. Jesus went around and preached to people and tried to persuade them to follow the gospel that way.
Satan was the one who wanted to force everybody not to sin so everybody could get into heaven.
People who want to ban pornography I think have a strong Satanic element in their hearts.

Once again, how does banning pornography (one of the countries only booming industries) help improve our economy?
This is another example of Rick Santorum focusing on stupid, pointless issues that nobody cares about.
It's about time someone put us in our place and got this whole "freedom of speech/expression" thing under control. Hopefully he will also push Congress to pass a law that married adults must have the light turned off before undressing in front of one another. It's just blatant obscenity in the private homes of American citizens. It's dangerous to let "the people" have too much freedom. They might just take over.

Attempting to outlaw pornography would probably mean more of it. Just like per capita more Americans smoke marijuana than their counterparts in Amsterdam (where it's legal).
I don't know of any current statutes (maybe someone can expand,) but the Supreme Court has left open the regulation of hardcore pornography. Roth v. U.S. rejected Hicklin (1868) and said that sex isn't synonymous with obscene but it does become obscene when it appeals to the prurient interest; there are statutes against using the mail to send obscene materials. Miller v. California went further and laid out a 3 part test for obscenity and basically said that hardcore porn can indeed be regulated.
I'm not sure exactly what Ricky was talking about, but there are some interesting legal questions brought up by this.
ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

Don't worry, in reality, Santorum could never fully ban pornography. His corporate masters would never allow that. It would be like drugs. Highly regulated, and provided by a small Oligopoly of companies.
"Do you have a license and prescription for that pornography? Very good, we at Time-Warner-Disney have a fine selection of adult entertainment for your enjoyment. Whatever you like, it's all available now. Sure it's very expensive, but with qualified Medical Insurance, your cost will be limited to a reasonable co-payment for every movie ordered. Senior citizens, ask about our Medicare Part X specials, with absolutely no cost to you!"

Crack the whip on porn Santa boy!

There is no quicker way to increase the demand and intensity thereof for pornography than to make it more scarce. A government gun will never curb personal depravity, it will only intensify it.
Did you even read what I wrote?
"A wealth of research is now available demonstrating that pornography causes profound brain changes in both children and adults, resulting in widespread negative consequences." If Rick had actually read these studies, he would know that the issue is still highly controversial among scientists and psychologists-there is definitely no "smoking gun" to prove his claim. Someone plz send the Rickster a copy of "Defending Pornography" by Straussen.
Hey Rick, I'm not trying to regulate your life, why do you feel it necessary to regulate mine?
What have I ever done to you?
