It is openly displayed at news stands, convenience stores and other places of business. Pornographic video tapes for use on home video cassette recorders are available for purchase or rent. Television, especially some cable networks, broadcasts obscene material into our homes. Even the lyrics of songs and musical video tapes directed at our youth often advocate uninhibited sexual expression. We commit ourselves to work toward the reversal of this trend.
Hardcore pornography is illegal.
It is not protected by the First Amendment. We voice our support for strong enforcement of existing laws against pornography. Most importantly, we reaffirm our respect for the dignity of every person and our commitment to maintaining the stability of the home and family. We call upon our congregations and other citizens to join us in support of this effort by boycotting merchants and advertisers of pornography, by joining with and supporting organizations such as Morality in Media and the National Federation for Decency, and by banding together in local communities to take action against pornography.
