This is like… Middle East religion police stuff.
I love watching our clueless citizens just allow this descent into fascism. Who knew it would be as simple as just not teaching kids what the word means.
There’s no way that dude is not railing twinks every weekend.
I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but his doubtless moral hypocrisy is rustling like a loud chip bag in the movies.
Let me guess: his wife caught him watching gay porn and since he is a good Christian he wants to save others from falling into the same trap? And now his wife is really proud of him?
Freedom and small government, right?
These people are fucking insane, what the hell. Right wingers will tell you stories about sharia law and how they want to come to other countries and enforce said sharia law, and how that is bad (rightly so).
Yet here they are, advocating for y’all queda’s version of sharia law. Fuck these christofascist stochastic terrorists
Just put a candidate endorsement in porn to make it political.
There’s really nothing stopping a super PAC from buying pornhub ads, is there?
Brought to you be the people scaremongering about the threat of Sharia law.
🌈Freedom and small government
A lot of GOP going to land in hot water after they get caught watching trans porn.
FREEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOM 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟
I mean they are gonna be free to kill homeless people. That’s gotta count for something.
Also, wonder how this will impact the incest porn scene.
I wish I didn’t live in my COMMUNIST blue state where I can freely watch porn, read books, receive healthcare, feed hungry kids, breath clean air, turn around in driveways without getting shot and an abortion if I or my 10 year old daughter gets RAPED! I would MUCH rather live in a Red State where it’s only legal to shoot homeless people, go to church and breath fumes from the coal plant next door unless it gets too cold and I freeze to death!
I agree with most of this, but don’t act like your healthcare is enough if you live in the US.
What is wrong with Americans?
They write articles about a bill some whacko proposed that has no chance of passing (and would be struck down in 5 minutes on first amendment grounds of it did) and pearl clutchers act like it’s the end of the world. Have you seen The People vs Larry Flint? That took place 60 years ago. This shit is nothing new.

A lot of the craziest shit in the lawbooks were things some whacko proposed “that has no chance of passing”.

Current SCOTUS precedent is that the First Amendment does not protect porn if it contains “obscenity”. Specifically, any porn can be banned if it:
- Makes people uneasy
- Includes offensive sexual conduct - as decided by state law (?!?)
- “lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value”
It’s called the Miller Test
Notice the wording used in the proposed law. It’s already been pre-considered to have a solid chance of surviving a SCOTUS appeal. And the current SCOTUS wouldn’t dream of overriding Conservative jurisprudence.

Unfortunately, this is the type of anti-reactionary discussion that led to us being genuinely surprised when Roe v Wade got overturned. Clarence Thomas used the opportunity to signal that he would like to overturn Obergefell and Griswold as well. And he 100% has Barrett on his side and almost certainly has Kavanaugh. That means all he has to do is elbow Gorsuch and suck off Roberts and porn (and sex toys) could be illegal in some states, working towards a federal ban.

Speak for yourself. I was not surprised when roe v wade was overturned, in fact I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did. The court invented a right that they wanted to be there and declared it had been there all along. That is not the judicial branch’s job. Roe v wade should have been replaced with a law, drafted by legislators, by like 1976. 50 years of Democrats dropped the ball on this and now innocent women are paying the price.

…here we go again. I feel like people bring this up without understanding it all the time. The Fundamental Right to Privacy used in Roe comes from Griswold, and is (and was) an absolutely defensible interpretation of the Constitution. Much of our jurisprudence comes from Common Law and Reading Between the Lines (which is different from inventing a right from scratch). If you have a right to do A and a right to do B, there is absolutely an argument that you have a right to do A#.
More importantly, DOBBS AGREED. They just said “There is a right to privacy, but fetuses are special. Bubye Roe”.

…which SCOTUS could easily decide is Federal overreach. A lot of people have argued with me (convincingly) that the best foundations of such a law are still not unassailable. The argument that the Constitution allows the federal government to protect abortion is just weaker than the argument that the Constitution inherently protects abortion.
50 years of Democrats dropped the ball on this and now innocent women are paying the price
Roe was decided by a largely pro-life conservative Judiciary, and the Right to Privacy was the weaker of two protections behind a clear 14th Amendment protection. Passing a law protecting abortion in 1976 is like passing a law protecting the right to Pray in your own home, or a law that forbids prosecutors from executing suspects during the arraignment. This is one of those things we really cannot justify blaming the Democrats for.
Well I don’t agree with you, but damned if you didn’t make a solid argument.
Sorry I started with “here we go again”. In retrospect, it’s not fair to treat a person who makes an argument like they are the argument itself.
It’s very common that I hear the “invented a right” complaint for Roe. There are a lot of valid criticisms for how jurisprudence works in America, but none of those valid criticisms started with Roe. Arguably they didn’t even fully start with Griswold, but the specific one in Roe did. People also often bring up Justice Ginsburg’s distaste for Roe. What they don’t understand (or conveniently forget) is that she was overridden in her 14th Amendment assertions by Justices that could be described as “Pro-life”, who came up with perhaps the most anti-choice interpretation of the Constitution as it was seen at that time. The “shaky ground” people talk about wasn’t Roe, but that Roe intentionally left a ton of room for states to add so-called “reasonable restrictions” on abortion, the kinds of restrictions the federal government would really struggle to justify limiting. If Oklahoma has a 3rd Trimester ban, get the abortion earlier or drive to a state without said ban. So long as they didn’t ban leaving the state to get an abortion, there’s not much for the federal government to write a law on.
he bill, set to be introduced next month by state Sen. Dusty Deevers (R-Elgin), would prohibit consuming or producing sexual content that “lacks serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific purposes or value” in any medium.
Deevers, a Baptist pastor who was elected last year to represent a rural district that includes the tiny cities of Comanche (population under 1,400) and Elgin (about 3,700),
So some backwater representative is proposing something that will never go anywhere. I bet stupid bills like this are proposed weekly.
Why can’t we have random proposals for “strip billionaires naked and give 90% of their money to homeless people”?
Because most candidates in both parties rely on the wealthy to fund their electoral race.
Lol that fucking name is straight out of 1850
As is his moral stance on sexuality
Have you not been paying attention to the laws that red states have been passing for the last decade?
Sure, it’ll probably be challenged in court, and if our judicial system isn’t complete trash, it’ll be repealed. But there’s a very real chance it gets passed.
This is just a random proposal. It won’t even make it to a point that it needs to go to a court. He’s just some dude from a small district that has nothing to do.
I get that American politics are weird AF right now, but shit like this is just posted to get a reaction. When ultimately it might sit on a desk for a week before it ends up in the trash.
…I said almost the same thing about the random state abortion bans before Dobbs happened.
Boy did I have mud on my face for that one.
Yeah, but thats comparing a controversial Supreme Court issue that’s been a hot topic for decades, to a sticks representative elected by 3000 votes filing some random shit that wont gain any traction.
You can see these dumb ass proposals filed all over in the real rural areas. Hell, you can see them also done higher populace areas for dumb political maneuvers. They know they will fail, but they can say they tried.
As I mentioned elsewhere, Justice Thomas wanted to overturn Ogberfell and Griswold in the discussion of Dobbs. There’s a LOT of voices wanting to backpedal on porn. Oklahoma is just small enough to make one of those happen.
The real problem is that the wording (from the article) seems to have been vetted to survive SCOTUS. It’s almost like they’ve done more work and spent more time and money than just the one rep who brought it up.
I can support that, I hate when they gloss over the storyline or when they’ve forgotten it by the end/don’t follow up how the sex impacted the world
I read this one book where this old guy saw a hooker on the road and paid her in some family heirlooms. A week later, he finds out his daughter-in-law (to his dead son) is pregnant, and he almost orders her death, but then she shows that she has the heirlooms. He was totally embarrassed and nothing else was said on the matter.
What would Jesus text?™
What is this, an attempt to stop women from making too much money with their onlyfans?
