The Constitution Was Never Intended to Protect Pornography


Nearly half a century ago, the Supreme Court issued an opinion that
would change the legal landscape of the pornography industry. In
Miller v. California, the Supreme Court cloaked pornography in First
Amendment protections, allowing the porn industry to get away with
exploiting countless lives both on screen and those who viewed the
content. Ever since then, courts have struck down lawmakers'
efforts to restrict pornography, and prosecutors have been afraid to
even enforce laws already on the books that do pass Supreme Court
muster. There are even sections of law that allow porn sites to get
away with their blatant abuse by passively permitting others to post
on their site.

The First Amendment was never meant to protect the exploitative,
multi-billion-dollar industry of pornography. The industry has
sexually abused countless young children-and then broadcast the
video or image of their abuse to the whole world on sites like
Pornhub. Pornhub is the largest pornography website on the planet with
over 42 billion visits a year. Pornhub is knowingly complicit in the
human trafficking industry.

And of course, a site like Pornhub could not miss an opportunity to
exploit ongoing international and national crises - like
COVID-19 and racial tensions in the U.S. In the height of the
pandemic, Pornhub did its best to use the crisis as an opportunity to
gain even greater foothold in homes by offering increased access to
its harmful content. In the last several months, Pornhub also allowed
videos expressly created to denigrate minorities to circulate on its
site. The hypocrisy was overwhelming when they also claimed to fight
for equality. Pornhub's version of equality is equally
exploiting everyone.

We believe that everyone has dignity and value because they are
created in the image of God. We believe that the porn industry
exploits women and children, as well as the men they prey on to fund
their bloated bank accounts.  And we believe that the porn
industry should be held accountable for the content that they put on
the internet.

If you agree and haven't yet had a chance, would you take 30
seconds to add your name to our petition to President Trump's
Attorney General Barr, asking him to

make prosecuting obscenity a top priority in his office? This is just
one way that we can start changing the culture when it comes to
holding the porn industry accountable.
