MIM: Prosecute obscenity, don’t bailout pornographers

In response to a call for a federal subsidy by Larry Flynt,  Morality in Media has issued a press release on the Christian Newswire that concludes:

. . . Despite the propaganda about obscenity crimes being “victimless,” there are tremendous social costs associated with the production, distribution and consumption of hardcore pornography. These include the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (including AIDS), abortions and children born out of wedlock, divorce, sexual exploitation of children, rape and other sexual assaults, trafficking in women and children, neighborhood deterioration, on the job sexual harassment, and loss of worker productivity due to misuse of computers to view pornography.
