Pornograpy Harms: A Briefing
The Coalition for the War on Illegal Pornography is sponsoring this major event at the United States Capitol at 11 AM, June 15. Every Member of the U.S. House and Senate, their staffs, the Capitol press corps, and the public are invited. There has NEVER been an event like this in the nation’s Capitol!
We have assembled a tremendous group of speakers, including Dr. Mary Anne Layden of the Sexual Trauma and Psychopathology Program at the Center for Cognitive Therapy at the University of Pennsylvania who will address the addiction to pornography; forensic pediatrician Sharon Cooper, M.D. of the University of North Carolina who will address the harmful effects of adult pornography on children who view it; and internationally acclaimed speaker and author Gail Dines, Ph.D., Professor of sociology and women’s studies at Wheelock College in Boston who will discuss her studies on how pornography debases men, women and the culture.
Attorney Laura Lederer, perhaps the leading voice in America on human trafficking, will discuss the link between pornography and sex trafficking. Former porn star Shelley Lubben will address how the pornography criminal enterprises treat women in the industry and Donna Rice Hughes, the leading voice on internet safety for children in America will address the urgent need to protect children now from the harm of Internet pornography. I will close out the event discussing the fact that NONE of our Federal laws against illegal adult pornography are currently enforced by the U.S. Department of Justice and what Congress can do to get the laws that it passed enforced now.
The Coalition for the War on Illegal Pornography is making a difference and I hope YOU and YOUR group are a part of this great effort to educate the public about the terrible harm from pornography and to get our Federal laws against illegal pornography enforced. If you would like to join but have not done so already, please contact me ASAP. We need individuals as well as groups.
Feel free to attend this event. Attached is the invitation. There is room for you!
