The appropriate questions to ask are 1) How did AIDS infected blood get into the blood supply, 2) How did the woman giving birth contract AIDS?
Try to tell a woman who was raped that pornography just affects those who consume it.
Pornography is no more the cause of rape than guns are the cause of crime. The rapist is the cause of rape.
Try to tell a child growing up in a broken home with a broken heart how harmless adultery is to him or her.
As if making adultery a crime under the law is going to ensure happiness in a child's life. The home could very well be broken as a result of an infinite number of other factors and abuse could take place even in the absence of adultery. No law is going to make a parent a good parent.

It is a common tendency to view other peoples' problems as a societal problem, requiring a collectivist solution (which often entails the subjugation of rights).

And now you have yet another great argument for altered consciousness too. Only yours is with a "legal substance".
See how easy it is. I can dance all night. Try again BB.
Pathetic.
No man, however brilliant...
How much less ignorant zealots.
