WASHINGTON, August 25, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - US porn king, Philip D. Harvey, is suing the Bush administration over its anti-prostitution policies saying that the restriction on USAID funding is an "unconstitutional infringement of speech." Harvey, the founder and chief executive of one of the world's largest mail-order pornography and sex merchandise businesses is also the founder and president of DKT International which promotes condoms and abortion in the developing world and is a major player in the population control movement.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Bush administration says that U.S. and foreign non-governmental organisations (NGOs) receiving USAID funding must adopt a policy "explicitly opposing prostitution and sex trafficking."

How soon before the ACLU joins the lawsuit?
This ought to raise your hackles ( i hope that's the right term) on a couple levels.
It's not often that the two agendas are so clearly combined in a single person.
I wonder if these idiots realize the executive branch of the government does not make the laws ---
** ONLY THE SCOTUS MAKES LAWS IN OUR COUNTRY NOW ** (/sarcasm)
Apparently, the guy doesnt see the correlation between his two "causes".

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
"We accept what they do as part of the reality of today's world," says Harvey, "and we do our best to empower them..."
This is the same thing as saying our government should give money to gamblers to empower them.
Perhaps this person should go down to Camp Casey.
The CEO of this vile company is an old buddy of George $oreA$$. They have been in bed with each other pushing abortion, pot for everyone and pornograhpy for a long time.

"There's no constitutionally guaranteed right to express obscenity."
There is also no constitutionally garaunteed play baseball, what's your point?
"Its always been excluded from the First Amendment free speech guarantees."
I find that to be obscene, the most important speech to protect is the kind you find reprehensible, especially when done in private, such as mail-order pornography.
I for one want government out of my life and I perfer not to make exceptions because I find something "obscene" which is completely relative as what I find "obscene" may not be what you find "obscene" and vice versa.
But to claim your free speech rights are being violated because your being denied federal dollars is assinine.
Wow this is amazing *lol* I just don't know what to say other than he's carrying out the Margaret Sanger agenda and being a purveyor of filth. Now he's whining like a little baby!
It happens more often than you think.
[I]n a recently released monograph on CFFC [Catholics for a Free Choice, a pro-abortion "Catholic" organization] for the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM), CFFC’s pro-life nemesis at the UN, "CFFC, which portrays itself as a champion of the dignity of women, has twice accepted grants from Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Foundation."

Good post. Of course it's long been recognized that there's a strong mutual interest between the groups -- indeed, they tend to feed on each other. The interesting thing here is that Mr. Davis is both a floor polish and a dessert topping (er, so to speak).
Uh, Mr. Harvey, not "Mr. Davis."
Free speech, eh?
Since when is pictures and movies of people having sex speech?
Mostly grunts, moans & groans from what I've seen.
Somehow I just don't think that is what the founding fathers had in mind.
"US porn king, Philip D. Harvey" so is his wife a porn queen?
He operates 'Adam and Eve' as Phil Harvey Enterprises in Carrboro, NC.
No surprise there since Carrboro is Sodom and Gomorrah Central here in NC.
