Kansas State Senate passes resolution declaring porn public health crisis

"Resolutions are little more than declarations and have no immediate bearing on the law, but they aim to guide state spending. Given that Kansas’ House and Senate now blame pornography for some of the state’s worst societal problems, Democrats are worried that the legislature is fighting the wrong enemy and turning its back on real health issues."

"Sen. Haley figures that pornography was an easy scapegoat ― even if voting to make it a top-tier issue has dangerous implications."

?The idea that pornography equals bad was enough for them to vote, even though they didn’t know what they were voting on,” he told HuffPost. “It’s a knee-jerk reaction to buzzwords. People feel like they have to stand up to some of the perceived ills of society. Regrettably, though, even some lawmakers don’t take the time to fully read what it is they’re passing.”
