This past week the Centers for Disease Control released the results of a nationwide study, Sexual Behavior and Selected Health Measures: Men and Women 15-44 Years of Age, United States 2002.

Recently, pornography distributor, Philip D. Harvey, filed suit against the Bush administration over its anti-prostitution policies saying that the restriction on USAID funding is an "unconstitutional infringement of speech." (Only a pornographer could come up with that one.) Harvey, the founder and chief executive of one of the world's largest mail-order pornography and sex merchandise businesses is also the founder and president of DKT International which promotes condoms in lieu of abstinence and [eugenic] abortion in the developing world and is a major proponent of population control.

As a result of the proliferation of pornography, there are many today that have removed pornography from any moral category altogether and simply regard this as a First Amendment issue. In fact, according to research by George Barna conducted in November 2003, thirty-eight percent of American adults surveyed stated that pornography was morally acceptable.[i] This is the first supposition that we must address: is pornography morally acceptable or is it in fact immoral? And if we suppose it is immoral, on what basis do we make this distinction?

It was significant in the sense that prior to the 60s ’s moral consensus, along with our public and social policies, was derived from profoundly Christian principles and values: in essence, the Christian worldview.
