Rick Santorum declares war on pornography: I will ban hardcore porn if I’m elected President
He wants a crackdown on the distribution of hardcore pornography on the Internet, in addition to material on cable/satellite TV, hotel/motel TV, retail shops and through the mail
NY Daily News By Aliyah Shahid
Rick Santorum is declaring a war… on porn.
The Republican presidential candidate and staunch social conservative wants to ban hard-core pornography. He calls it “toxic to marriages and relationships” in a new statement posted on his official website.
“America is suffering a pandemic of harm from pornography,” the former Pennsylvania senator writes. “It contributes to misogyny and violence against women. It is a contributing factor to prostitution and sex trafficking.”
He demands a crackdown on the distribution of hardcore pornography on the Internet, in addition to material on cable/satellite TV, hotel/motel TV, retail shops and through the mail.
What qualifies as “hardcore” remains unclear.
Tom Lehrer nailed it over 50 years ago:

The more things change…
Small wonder indeed that Sick Rantorum is agin smut. To shut down porn these days he\’d have to all but shut down the Intertubes. But what with his \”Google problem,\” his desire to do so is really rather understandable…
