Opinion: Pro-Con: Should pornography be illegal in the United States?
Pornography may seem to be the ultimate “victimless crime,” a private vice that should be of no interest to the government, but nothing could be further from the truth. As a form of infidelity, pornography wars against the exclusive erotic love relationship that lies at the heart of marriage. Healthy, functioning marriages and families are important to a healthy and functioning society.
Standing against it with the force of law is a matter of survival for our civilization and not mere prudishness. Libertarians are so focused on individual freedom that they disregard the well-being of the larger community. Since man is God’s creature, we should realize that the maximum possible degree of freedom comes when we conform to God’s moral law, both as individuals and as a community. As a fish is made to live in water, so man is made to live in God’s law, and trying to live otherwise will be disastrous for both.
Nor is there denying that many people abuse pornography. Nor is there denying that, indeed, minors can access such material. These are problems worth taking seriously. None of those are rational starting points for the religious right’s recent enthusiasm for prohibiting pornography. It’s not going anywhere.In the first half of 2020, their National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications announced they took down 12,000 pornographic or other “harmful” websites.
