Thoughtful Bill on Pornography

I am rarely enthusiastic about social legislation proposed by a Republican lawmaker. But this is different.
State Delegate Bob Marshall, (R-Prince William), has filed a bill that would declare pornography a public health hazard in Virginia.
What’s intriguing about his bill is that it doesn’t propose new criminal or civil penalties. Nor does it ban porn
His bill only calls for the need for education, research, and policy change to address the “public health crisis” of pornography.

The bill says porn leads to social problems, such as hypersexualization of teenagers and normalizes violence and abuse of women and children.
