Total porn ban proposed by Michigan lawmakers

Yeah sure one thing is banning porn, but then there's this little nugget:

The bill's sponsors are also pushing for violators of the Anticorruption of Public Morals Act to register as sex offenders.

vrosas•53m ago
The point is to dehumanize those who oppose them, and putting someone on a sex offender registry, in jail, and hitting them with crippling debt is a sure fire way to do it, even if it’s thrown out in court later.

>> Earlier this year, he said porn and human trafficking were linked, adding that "shutting down the porn industry would be a crushing blow to the human trafficking industry."

I doubt this logic, but open to arguments, as I'm not an expert.

k310•8m ago
The law of unintended consequences says that people would find other outlets, namely incest and rape. Oh, and human trafficking.

Smart thinking there.

Poor fellow.

> Well, I first became aware of it during the physical act of love.

> Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed.

> Luckily, I was able to interpret these feelings correctly.

> Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred.

> Women sense my power and they seek the life essence.

> I do not avoid women. But I do deny them my essence.

“ The bill's primary sponsor, Rep. Josh Schriver, has been outspoken about his desire to enact a total porn ban in the state.”

$100 says this guy is absolutely hiding something.

IlikeKitties•58m ago
His Wikipedia Page is something to behold https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Schriver

> During his tenure in the Michigan legislature, he has called for a ban on hormonal birth control,[3] pornography,[4][5] same-sex marriage and gender-affirming care for adults,[6] as well as promoted the Great Replacement conspiracy theory.[7]

And please take a look at the picture. It's something else.

You know... my wife and I have repeatedly asked my mother-in-law (who lives with us) to not purchase junk food because--even though she has no problem eating it in moderation--we have a hard time doing so if it's just lying around the house.

Maybe we should talk to our state legislator!

I wonder... Do those folks take an oath of office to uphold the Constitution? Because that whole thing is unamerican.

In addition to the headline, this bill would also criminalize such popular movies as Hairspray, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Tootsie, for which Dustin Hoffman won a Golden Globe. (And quite obviously a fair bit of music videos and general entertainment industry content would also become illegal.)

>> The bill also includes a section that takes aim at transgender individuals by prohibiting material "that includes a disconnection between biology and gender by an individual of 1 biological sex imitating, depicting, or representing himself or herself to be of the other biological sex."

We'll let the normal penalties pull this off the front page, because there are countless laws proposed by activist lawmakers, very few of which ultimately make it into law. HN has always preferred to wait until something is actually passed into law before considering it worthy of front page time here.

You're so unprepared for the emerging political reality in the US it almost looks intentional.
Hizonner•17m ago
It's true that US state legislators propose a lot of whackjob bills that get exploited for headlines and then die. They usually don't have 5 co-sponsors, though, not even out of 110 in a chamber.
