>> John Adams, the 2nd President of the United States said “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Has there ever been a truly moral people? We are fallen — individually and collectively.

Equating abortion with pornography seems a stretch. Abortion is the willful taking of a truly innocent human life. Pornography is pictures of naked people. Both are a sin ... but certainly not of the same social consequence.

These things are sins not because God decided one days to arbitrarily pick things out of the blue and call them "sins". They're sins because they harm people and and are anathema to a healthy, happy culture.

Plus, anything can be called pornography, from the Sears catalogue underwear section on up.

And John Adams drank hard cider every morning for breakfast.

He'd be pilloried today for it.

How do you think those unwanted babies got started in the first place? Duh!

Those of you who can’t see the relationship between pornography and divorce rates, STDs, and abortion rates are being willfully blind.

Can’t define pornography? Please.....

Here’s a start:

“Any transmission media that visually shows people, having oral sex, having vaginal sexual intercourse, or ejaculating.”
