Morality In Media Ties Porn To Terrorism
To Promote Pornography Awareness Week

President Urged to Support
Pornography Awareness Week

By Scott Ross, Adult Video News

NEW YORK, NY, 9/11/03 The anti pornography activist group Morality in Media has sent a letter to President George W. Bush encouraging him to declare his support for "vigorous" enforcement of obscenity laws in honor of Pornography Awareness Week. The letter was signed by approximately 100 anti pornography activists including representatives from the Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and Mormon religions.

Pornography Awareness Week is scheduled to begin on October 26 this year. A press release regarding the request was sent out the day before the anniversary of 9/11. While the release was largely ignored by mainstream media, the timing of the release combined with the wording of the letter attempts to equate the terrorist acts that brought down the World Trade Center with pornography.

"We appreciate the danger that terrorism continues to pose," the letter reads. "But there is a second battle that must also be fought. It is a battle for our children and families and a for a safe and decent society." The letter goes on to call for a two-front battle to be waged by the government terrorism on one front and pornography on the other.

A draft version of the proclamation Morality in Media would like the president to sign states that pornography is an epidemic, encourages children to molest each other and interferes with a healthy marriage
