The Social Cost of Pornography
The Witherspoon Institute Releases Statement of Findings and Recommendations
Cincinnati–Last year, The Witherspoon Institute at Princeton University held a meeting to discuss the social cost of pornography. Citizens for Community Values (CCV) president, Phil Burress, attended that meeting by invitation. Now, after months of research, the experts have released a Statement of Findings and Recommendations.
A press conference to release the findings to the public was held at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. on March 16 at 9 a.m. Phil Burress attended the press conference.
Even though polling states that 80% of Americans want obscenity laws enforced—for some reason Americans cannot understand—the Department of Justice and the FBI refuse to fully enforce the federal law that prohibits interstate transportation of obscene pornography. The US Supreme Court clearly spelled out what is prosecutable in the 1973 Miller vs. California case.
