Man.
This doesn't hold up under any kind of scrutiny. The list of things that we allow kids to have unfettered access to that are more harmful than porn is long.
This bill isn't about protecting kids. It's about legislating morality. Very small government of them.
Just think if they were all bisexual. Then you can always get in when you want 😍
Dam I might convert
Yes. Just think sometimes the parties mix things up. Abortion is a big one. No idea why conservatives would be against this incredible form of population control. Approx 19 million African American fetuses out of the 70 + million abortions since 1973 with overwhelming majority born into poverty/drug/single mom situations.
This falls in line more with what I would think would be a left issue. But then religious principles murk up the waters and switch teams.
I don't think that is a good comp because not many would care if others know about alcohol usage in the case of a data breach, much different than porn. Secondly when you drink it alters your state of mind to the point there's a solid chance you make unwise decisions - such as driving and consequently killing people.
Agree porn has no redeeming qualities. But nor does playing video games all day and eating fast food/chips/candy and getting no sunlight. Sitting on IPhone staring at screens for hours. That's half of this country and largely children. What's the redeeming qualities of candy - It tastes good? The only logical choice IMO is it's up to the individual unless the potential is there to directly harm others - drinking/second hand smoke/seatbelt laws ect then yes guardrails are needed at times. Otherwise there would be no end of banning things in the name of safety and if you believe that you can't ignore the far bigger issues unless you are morally inconsistent

This is ignoring the addictive properties of porn and the harm it does to people, both who make it and who consume it. You can always claim that any time something is banned, there will be no end to banning things. Except there are constitutional limits on what can be legally banned, and there is no political will to ban most things. But if you don’t want something to be banned, then you’ve always got the opportunity to engage in the political process.
I'm not ignoring it, I don't think that matters. It's up to the individual to harm themselves or not. Sugar is just as addictive - and objectively causes a larger scope of problems for the individual and society when people consume too much and get fat/accompanying diseases.
There are many examples to pull from. I genuinely wish to know how you separate/give other things a pass in your mind. Unless you don't? What is your logic
Edit: to clarify I wasn't saying there would be no end in sight of the Gov banning things, I'm saying you as an individual would have to be in favor of banning many other things, essentially no end in sight of things that are the same level or worse harm - in order to be logically and morally consistent. Clarify your logic for the basis of banning it outside of its bad

And that’s your point of view. Others think differently, and they can also engage in the political process. Thinking you should ban one thing for one reason doesn’t mean you have to think you should ban everything similar. There are degrees, and there’s also political reality.
I respect that you own it.
You don't see a problem being logically and morally inconsistent, especially when it comes to making rules and restrictions for others?
I don’t think it’s inconsistent to want some things banned to protect people from themselves but not others. Formal similarity does not mean equivalence or feasibility. Most of the time, the only reason people bring up these slippery slopes is as a poison pill.
This is complete insanity. It's as irrational as a thought can be.
Then parent them. We have kids living in meth dens that the government has to seize. Want to talk about that problem? I get to hear about children/babies dying in a republican led county every week. Where's the outcry?
