Closing the Loophole on Pornography Sales at Military Exchanges

Concerned Women for America reports:

Every day, young children and families are exposed to pornographic images in military exchanges around the world, despite a law restricting the Secretary of Defense from allowing the sale or rental of sexually explicit material on Department of Defense (DoD) property. The National Defense Authorization Act of 1997 contains a loophole which allows these materials to be sold or rented in exchanges under current DoD regulations. Congressman Paul C. Broun (R-Georgia), M.D., introduced the “Military Honor and Decency Act (H.R. 5821),” which closes that loophole so pornographic publications aren’t sold or subsidized by military exchanges. Legislation like H.R. 5821 would protect military families from the harmful effects of pornography and would encourage a family-friendly environment on military installations . . .
