Arizona Lawmakers Declare Porn a Public Health Crisis

“Blaming sexual images for ‘poisoning’ the minds of Arizonans, Republican senators adopted a measure declaring pornography a public-health crisis and urging the state to ‘systemically prevent exposure and addiction,'” the Arizona Republic reports.

“The resolution — approved by the House in February — deems the ‘societal damage of pornography…beyond the capability of the individual to address alone.’ It argues that porn can lead to human trafficking, sexual abuse, infidelity, low self-esteem and eating disorders, among other issues.”
