Ohio Republican’s Stupid Anti-Porn Resolution

[Skwim]

.

I debated with myself where I should put this, Games / Pics / Jokes / Stories, Current Events, or North American politics. Well the ridiculousness of it won out, so here we are in Games / Pics / Jokes / Stories. (I couldn't help adding a couple of graphics. You're welcome. )

According to House Resolution 180, sponsored by Ohio Republican State Rep. Jena Powell, pornography is a public health hazard that must be stopped.

​

Her resolution blames porn for all of the following:

• Human trafficking
• A sexually toxic environment
• Rape
• #MeToo
• Child sexual abuse
• The hypersexualization of adolescent and prepubescent children
• Low self-esteem
• Problematic sexual activity
• Body image disorders
• Negative impact [on] healthy brain development and functioning
• Emotional and physical illnesses
• Deviant sexual desires
• Harmful sexual behaviors and addiction
• Difficulty in forming or maintaining positive, intimate relationships
• Risky sexual behaviors
• Extreme degradation
• Decrease in young men to marry, pursue intimacy, or engage socially
• Dissatisfaction in marriage
• Infidelity
• A detrimental effect on the family unit

Almost all of that is quoted verbatim. Which makes you wonder what the hell kind of porn they watch in Ohio…

It’s also laughable to think Republicans seriously give a damn about these things considering their open support of alleged rapist and sexual assaulter Donald Trump

​

and their tacit support for alleged child predator Roy Moore.

The people sponsoring this bill, as you might guess, have support from the Christian Right:

[The Citizens for Community Values] reports that 15 states have passed similar resolutions. CCV said it worked with the National Decency Coalition to help Powell draft the resolution. The National Decency Coalition also campaigns for displaying “In God We Trust” in public classrooms, making sure public schools and libraries have adequate online filtering tools, and keeping internet porn from being accessible to children.
​

We could have an honest conversation about porn addiction. We could talk about how people can be filmed without consent and how that needs to be prevented. We could (and should) talk about how the sex in porn isn’t realistic.

But to treat all porn as evil — and all viewers as people who have or will soon have serious problems — is baseless and ignorant.

A similar bill was passed earlier this year in Tennessee.

Because it won’t change any laws, there won’t be any lawsuits over the resolution, but it still sends an important message: You can’t trust Republicans to treat traditionally taboo topics with the seriousness and honesty they deserve.

A R E S O L U T I O N
To declare that pornography is a public health
hazard with statewide and national public health
impacts leading to a broad spectrum of individual
and societal harms.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF
OHIO:
WHEREAS, Pornography is creating a public health crisis that
perpetuates human trafficking and a sexually toxic environment;
and
WHEREAS, According to statistics compiled by the National
Human Trafficking Hotline, Ohio ranks as the fourth worst state
in the nation for human sex trafficking; and
WHEREAS, Sex trafficking, prostitution, and pornography are
all interrelated, in that over half of the victims of sex
trafficking report having been required to learn and perform
sexual acts according to depictions in pornography; and
WHEREAS, Sex traffickers often create pornography depicting
victims of sex trafficking for display or sale online as a means
of increasing income and control over victims; and
H. R. No. 180
Page 2
As Introduced
WHEREAS, The factors that compel men and women to enter into
the pornography industry include poverty, homelessness, a history
of childhood sexual or physical abuse, which are similar to the
factors that make women, girls, and boys vulnerable to being
trafficked for sex; and
WHEREAS, The pornography industry is mostly male-dominated
by producers and directors who recruit and capitalize off of
filming the exploitation, degradation, and sexualization of
women; and
WHEREAS, The "#MeToo" movement has exposed how dangerous and
harmful it is when men stop viewing women as valued coworkers,
neighbors, friends, and family and instead view them as sexual
objects; and
WHEREAS, Studies have shown that there is a correlation
between men viewing pornography and an increased rate of interest
in rape; and
WHEREAS, Pornography provides sexualized depictions of
violence towards women and children, which correlates with an
increased demand for sex trafficking, prostitution, child sexual
abuse images, and child pornography; and
WHEREAS, Pornography is contributing to the precocious
hypersexualization of adolescent and prepubescent children in our
society; and
WHEREAS, Due to advances in technology and the universal
availability of the Internet, the average boy is first being
exposed to pornography between eleven and twelve years of age;
and
WHEREAS, Within and before adolescence, this early exposure
may lead to an increase in low self-esteem, problematic sexual
activity, and body image disorders; and
WHEREAS, Exposure to pornography often serves as inaccurate

H. R. No. 180
Page 3
As Introduced
and unwanted sex education, shaping the sexual templates of
children and teens by novel and repetitive exposure; and
WHEREAS, Potential detrimental effects of pornography on the
user are that it can negatively impact healthy brain development
and functioning, contribute to emotional and physical illnesses,
shape deviant sexual desires and arousal, promote problematic or
harmful sexual behaviors and addiction, and lead to difficulty in
forming or maintaining positive, intimate relationships; and
WHEREAS, Recent neurological research indicates that
pornography is potentially biologically addictive, which means
the user requires more novelty, often in the form of more
shocking material, in order to be satisfied; and
WHEREAS, This biological addiction leads to increasing
themes of risky sexual behaviors, extreme degradation, violence,
child sexual abuse images, and child pornography; and
WHEREAS, Pornography use is correlated with (1) a decreased
desire in young men to marry, pursue intimacy, or engage
socially, (2) dissatisfaction in marriage, and (3) infidelity,
all of which demonstrate that pornography has a detrimental
effect on the family unit; and
WHEREAS, It is important to recognize the harm on society
that pornography poses, due to the unrestrained and instant
access that men, women, and children have to it on the Internet;
now therefore be it

I kind of agree with much of it, especially that in the bold and some feminists will do so too

It's just meaningless political grandstanding. Her corporate sponsors won't let her attack any real problems, so she figured she'd kick this old dead horse a few more times.

And some try to tout Republicans as the "personal freedom party"...

I was looking at the boots.

Same here. I had to stop myself from yelling at my monitor.

 

[suncowiam]

Porn causes my right hand to get extremely tired. That's about the only hazard that I know about...

Tom Jones suggested leaving the hat on. I am thinking the boots can stay.
