Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the results of a new Gallup poll on pornography:
More Americans now find pornography morally acceptable than ever before. Just last year, 36% were okay with porn; today it is 43%.
As expected, young unmarried men are the most approving of porn (as we know, they are also its biggest consumers).
Among the unmarried, 50% find pornography morally acceptable, as compared to 35% of married men and women. By a margin of 53% to 32%, men go for porn more than women. Moreover, two of every three males (67%) aged 18-49 approve of it (this is a 14% jump in one year!).
Religion, or the absence thereof, also plays an important role. Among those who say “religion is very important,” only 22% find porn morally acceptable, but among those who say “religion is not very important,” the figure spikes to 76%.
“For the first time on record,” the Gallup report says, “a majority of Democrats (53%) say pornography is morally acceptable.” The figure for Republicans is 27%.
Young single Democrat males with no religion are the problem. As previous studies have shown, this is the same population that champions a woman’s right to abortion. Why should we be surprised to learn that morally vacuous young males are the most likely to be sexually reckless? They always have been. The difference now is there are so many more of them, the ultimate losers being women.
As for the political element, the Democratic Party has been hostile to religion, supportive of abortion rights, and embracing of sexual deviance for almost a half century. This was once the Party that serious Catholics were drawn to, but those days are long over.
Now the Dems have become home to the morally challenged, not all of whom are young men (Harvey Weinstein, Eliot Spitzer, Anthony Weiner, Eric Schneiderman, Bill Clinton, Bill Cosby). In fact, some are women (Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Michelle Wolf, Samantha Bee). That’s quite a combo.
