Gingrich, Santorum & Romney Vow to Make Porn Illegal if Elected President

Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney have all pledged to criminalize pornography if elected president.

Former Senator Rick Santorum in a written statement:

“Federal obscenity laws should be vigorously enforced. If elected President, I will appoint an Attorney General who will do so.”

Former Governor Mitt Romney in a written statement: “(I)t is imperative that we cultivate the promotion of fundamental family values. This can be accomplished with increased parental involvement and enhanced supervision of our children. It includes strict enforcement of our nation’s obscenity laws, as well as the promotion of parental software controls that guard our children from Internet pornography.”

Former Speaker Newt Gingrich in a face-to-face meeting: When MIM’s Executive Director Dawn Hawkins asked former Speaker Gingrich if he will enforce existing laws that make distribution of hard-core adult pornography illegal, he responded: “Yes, I will appoint an Attorney General who will enforce these laws.”


I’m sorry, but did we miss something? I could have sworn that the entire planet was in the midst of the second biggest financial disaster of all time, a tenth of Americans remain unemployed, and the cost of education has saddled college graduates with an entire lifetime of debt and bad credit.

Did we somehow sleep through the solution to these gargantuan societal issues? Is that why these GOP candidates for president are suddenly running on a Death to Porn platform?

Criminalize porn…seriously?

These men clearly don’t take the American people seriously, so how could anyone possible take them seriously?
