I never did like slippery slope analogies.

How about how banning porn will lead to outlawing the Bible as hate crime?

Either something is right or something is wrong. That said, obscenity is "freedom of speech", but not on public property.

Obscenity is wrong and the courts have ruled that it is no more "free speech" than yelling fire in a crowded theater.

Didn't you hear? They've already done that in Canada.

REGINA, February 10, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In a ruling given virtually no media coverage, the Court of Queen's Bench in Saskatchewan, ruled that a man who placed references to Bible verses on homosexuality into a newspaper ad was guilty of inciting hatred.
