Aha, but who gets to define what’s ‘obscene’?

Again, you're using the talking points of the left. I could do it for you right now if you wished. It's not difficult at all and I'm sure people could arrive at a consensus on it without much problem.

Asking for a consistent definition of what’s considered ‘obscene’, is hardly using the language of the Left. I think it’s patently unreasonable to leave it as such an open-ended question. If left open-ended, then next thing you know, criticisms of Islam will be considered ‘obscene’.

If local communities want to arrive at a consensus about what’s obscene and what isn’t, that’s up to them. But this should absolutely not be the jurisdiction of the Federal Government to dictate for 300+ million people.
