Because it arises directly from women's oppression, it is a systematic form of sex discrimination. Accordingly, the production, distribution and use of pornography constitutes gross human rights violation. Continued First Amendment protection of pornographic material contributes to maintaining women's second class status. Without new approaches, which recognize pornography as a civil rights violation, its harm to individuals, and women as a class remains unredressed. To pornography's apologists, and protector's we unequivocally reiterate.
Pornography is indefensible.
