Good luck.

Good. I support this 100%. Hard core porn has nothing to do with free speech and everything to do with destroying families, encouraging the objectification of women, and creating addle-brained serfs.
yet again the left/MSM/left wing propaganda will use every tactic to scare people or make it look like Santorum is trying to just use social issues when he is talking about other issues much more.
For the record I’m for Newt or hopefully Sarah and Col Allen West comes in and saves the day but this is pathetic by the left MSM to paint him as a social issue nutter.
He has never said he would do this so why will some freepers now jump on this if it is a done deal
Judging by the responses of the Santorum supporters on this thread I have discovered that the nation is ~$16 trillion in debt and on the verge of socialism because grown men look at obscene material in the sanctity of their own homes.
And people wonder why conservative women aren’t opposed to this guy?
It's the economy, stupid.

Stopping porn will be just as effective as stopping drug sales and use.
Santorum is sealing is fate making ridiculous claims such as this.
Maybe porn regulation made sense when it was a theater here and there and magazines but internet porn? That cat is so out of the bag it’s never coming back.
Really, this guy is a TERRIBLE general election candidate. I held my nose and voted for Romney in Michigan and I don’t feel like I should have held my nose anymore.
Can we get a candidate that just wants to stop abusing he Commerce Clause? Just once?
This is why Obama would beat Santorum. The MSM will paint Santorum as some kind of religious nutcase.
Santorum augments his Church Lady cred.
America is suffering a pandemic of harm from pornography. A wealth of research is now available demonstrating that pornography causes profound brain changes in both children and adults, resulting in widespread negative consequences. Addiction to pornography is now common for adults and even for some children. The average age of first exposure to hard-core, Internet pornography is now 11. Pornography is toxic to marriages and relationships. It contributes to misogyny and violence against women. It is a contributing factor to prostitution and sex trafficking.
Every family must now be concerned about the harm from pornography. As a parent, I am concerned about the widespread distribution of illegal obscene pornography and its profound effects on our culture.
For many decades, the American public has actively petitioned the United States Congress for laws prohibiting distribution of hard-core adult pornography.
Congress has responded. Current federal “obscenity” laws prohibit distribution of hardcore (obscene) pornography on the Internet, on cable/satellite TV, on hotel/motel TV, in retail shops and through the mail or by common carrier. Rick Santorum believes that federal obscenity laws should be vigorously enforced. “If elected President, I will appoint an Attorney General who will do so.”
The Obama Administration has turned a blind eye to those who wish to preserve our culture from the scourge of pornography and has refused to enforce obscenity laws. While the Obama Department of Justice seems to favor pornographers over children and families, that will change under a Santorum Administration.
I proudly support the efforts of the War on Illegal Pornography Coalition that has tirelessly fought to get federal obscenity laws enforced. That coalition is composed of 120 national, state, and local groups, including Morality in Media, Family Research Council, Focus on the Family, American Family Association, Cornerstone Family Council of New Hampshire, Pennsylvania Family Institute, Concerned Women for America, The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, and a host of other groups. Together we will prevail.
Looks to me like Santorum needs the James Dobson voters to continue to support him in droves.
Another diversion for the media from the truly pressing issues. WTG, Santorum.
Technically you could classify Playboy as porn. Hell, 1/2 the shows on Showtime on Saturday could also be technically so classified.
He cant win when they accuse him of this. If he denies it they say he supports porn. If he says its true he becomes enemy number one to the Libertarians.
