it's not a desire to "protect porn". It is simply the viewpoint that fighting porn is MUCH less important on the priority scales of most American voters than the economy, national security, crime, etc. A politician who does not recognize this and tailor his message to align with the priorities of the people he wants to vote for him, will lose.
How do feel about the clear examples I gave of doing just that, where no violence is involved? Any response?
But since your here, how do you feel about the fact that looking at women's breasts degrades women, and that the majority of women who are in porn flicks have been sexually abused and/or trafficked, and that's why they're there.
Does the inextricable link between porn and sexual violence bother you at all?
btw, the question of whichs is a 'higher priority' isn't really the issue, because the issues can all be discussed without the necessity of prioritizing and saying things like, because the economy is important, we shouldn't discuss the evil of pornography........as you seem to be saying.
