For being a PhD, she asks a lot of questions with simple answers.
” 19. How long a shelf-life does a “working girl” prostitute, pornography actress) actually have?”
About the same as a professional sports athlete?
She has been trying to make sense of things for decades. She was one of "feminism's" original seven sisters but after growing up realized that the "movement" is full of bullshit and hypocrisy.
She has put herself out there on the muslim/sharia issue more publicly and courageously than anyone else you can name...right up there with Gaffney.
But, you are right, she is not easy on the eyes and that's all that matters.

And Wilberforce accomplished his goals by using government force. A person who puts porn on the same level as slavery is likely to sanction the use of government force to accomplish her goals. I’m not quite ready to see a civil war with over six hundred thousand deaths happening over porn, are you?
Its probably because they’re having sex on it
No thanks. In fact, NFW!
I guess some social conservatives will have to choose between the Constitution and morality, not an easy one.
I know one who would say that “porn” leads to marxism. So does throwing out the right to free speech.
In the Citizens United case, a movie was considered free speech. I know what I would choose.
LOL, you sound like a social liberal that is part of the post 1960s America, stop conservatism, fight Christianity, fight traditional American conservatism, crowd.
Porn was not allowed until the left tookover America.
“I’m not quite ready to see a civil war with over six hundred thousand deaths happening over porn, are you?”
Which is why Britain had a civil war over this. Oh wait, no they didn’t. Land of Lincoln, who did use force to try to convince people who didn’t want abolition.
Wilberforce acheived his goal through legislation over the course of his entire career, eventually managing to pass the bill. How is that coercion? Coercion would be passing the bill without the support of the people, and the people of Britain eventually came around to his way of thinking. This is the ideal way a democracy ought to work.
Or you can do what Lincoln did. Your choice.
I dont think all legislation is legislating morality. The actual functions of government - defense, law, infrastructure are morality neutral. We should leave morality to the people, not the government. Otherwise, one day some Congress we dont like will come along and legislate their morality.
Chessler is one of the ONLY women to come out of the Femminist Movement of the 60’s or 70’s who is now vey conservative and also criticizes left wing liberal “feminnists”...
Conservatives—men and women—should be supportive of her.
So hold off on your making the case for the Libs, that conservatives are just anti-women, pro pronography and just make fun of women who are not “attractive”.
And wonder where the Christian Freepers are on threads like this? Pornography , I guess is just oky doky with Christian conservative men and their wives.NOT.

Pornography is wholesale prostitution. Is prostitution illegal? ... Making pornography is as illegal as prostitution. At least one state (Harry Reid’s state of course) has legalized prostitution. However, a Nevada prostitute is not protected to do her trade if she goes to Tennessee. If porn is produced in Nevada, it would be illegal to sell it or distribute it in Tennessee. So, pornography is a states issue, not a federal issue. Some states have an affinity for the debasing behaviors of humankind, because they make money for government programs off of it.
"guns as causing murder, meat as cruelty to animals, tobacco/alcohol as causing health issues, CO2 as killing the planet, etc, etc, etc." you just described the PRO-PORNOGRAPHY crowd, way to go.
For centuries, naturally conservative America, could control those leftists, but now some of them even hang out with conservatives while promoting liberalism.
That sheep looks disturbingly happy.
