Pornography

3. Pornography

 Pornography is nothing short of dehumanizing women and children.

 The consequences of pornography are that it 

• dehumanizes women 
• victimizes children 
• destroys marriages 
• encourages sexual violence 
• makes fun of ethical and moral values
•  destroys individuals, families, and communities

A woman is raped in the United States every 46 seconds. (National Victim Center/crime Victims Research and Treatment Center, 1992). Eighty-six percent of rapists admit to regular use of pornography, with 57 percent admitting imitation of pornography scenes when committing sex crimes (Dr. William Marshall, 1988).* *

 It is sad to see how low some people will stoop to make a buck by making pornography their business. What about the sick people who buy it? * ''In his book It's Killing Our Kids, Word Publishing, p. xv. ** From the National Coalition for the Protection of Children and Families, Annual Report, 1995.
