Utahns castigated the adult entertainment industry in a legislative hearing Friday on a proposed resolution declaring pornography a public health crisis.
Jenny Brown, a member of the Utah Coalition Against Pornography board, said many are scared of the industry because of the "fierce" way it goes after people in court. Brown said it's time for children's rights to be acknowledged and that no one has a right to harm another person.
"We are going to give the pornography industry a run for their money, even if it takes several years to keeping working on it," she said. "We are not going to be afraid to look at the pornography industry right in the eye. It's not going to keep just doing what it wants and think there's not going to be pushback."
Academics, marriage and family therapists, anti-pornography advocates and residents lined up to testify about the ills of exposure to sexually explicit material in a packed Senate Health and Human Services Committee meeting. They said it undermines families, damages relationships and leads to risky and aggressive sexual behavior.
