Congress Encourages War on Pornography
by Keith Peters, Washington, D.C., correspondent
There's no shortage of opportunities to prosecute pornographers -- but will a House resolution increase enthusiasm in the attorney general's office?
This is Pornography Awareness Week, and the U.S. House of Representatives has pitched in with a measure encouraging vigorous prosecution of obscenity laws.
H. Con. Res. 298, authored by Rep. John Sullivan, R-Okla., urges Attorney General John Ashcroft to aggressively prosecute obscenity. It notes that the U.S. Supreme Court not only has upheld the rights of legislatures to pass obscenity laws, but also has recognized that government has a legitimate interest in banning obscene material.
But porn kingpins have not been prosecuted for more than 10 years, according to Dan Panetti, a spokesman for the National Coalition for the Protection of Children and Families.
"(Attention) really just needs to be brought back to the fact that a lot of the pornography out there is really obscenity," Panetti said. "It can be prosecuted. It can be found illegal. It just needs to be done. The laws are there. They're just not being enforced."
Panetti added that action by the Justice Department is essential.
"Unless we stand up and say 'Enough is enough' and 'There are standards that we have to live by,' this (explosion of pornography) is what we (can expect)," he said. "For the first time in 10 years we're standing up and saying . . . that there are standards."
Robert Peters, president of Morality in Media, said it is possible to win the war on pornography.
"My definite goal," Peters said, "is to reverse the floodtide of hardcore pornography in the United States of America, and to push it back out of the mainstream of culture back into the gutter where it belongs."
