TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - The Kansas House has approved a resolution condemning pornography as a public health hazard.
The resolution approved Wednesday on a voice vote has no legal effect.
The Wichita Eagle reports (https://bit.ly/2o8tv6K ) the resolution warns that pornography treats women and children as objects, reduces the desire to marry, can cause erectile dysfunction and creates a sexually toxic environment.
Supporters also said pornography can lead to risky sexual behavior, particularly in adolescents.
Opponents of the resolution said they don’t support pornography but U.S. citizens have a right to freedom of expression, even if the price of freedom is high.
