Fascinating!
This discussion has revealed much about the flimsy nature of the pro-pornography positions. They are reducible to:
1. the Bible is equivalent to pornography
2. pornography was the same two centuries ago as it is today
3. the left is so scary we have no choice but to submit to their way of doing things
Of note, # 1 above is refuted by the fact that the Bible has no street value on the pornography market.
We also established that the courts have yet to articulate a ruling banning pornography, and that when they do formulate a new perspective and ruling on pornography, it will have potential basis in the following interests:
1. national security – pornography destroys families, disrupts the process of normal activities
2. public safety – pornography cultivates hypersexual response which increased risk of rape and human trafficking
3. decency and morality – pornography distorts the perception individuals have about other individuals, creating a hypersexual response that is demonstrably hostile to our way of life in many ways
