Going beyond even the GOPs own platform, Republican Senate candidate J.D. Vance told a Catholic magazine last year that pornography should be banned because its stopping Americans from getting married and starting families.
I think the combination of porn, abortion have basically created a lonely, isolated generation that isnt getting married, theyre not having families, and theyre actually not even totally sure how to interact with each other, Vance said in a newly unearthed interview with Crisis Magazine from August 2021.
The writer spoke with Vance at a gathering for young conservatives where Vance was a keynote speaker. She wrote that after asking him his thoughts on porn and birth control and their effects on familial decline, Vance admitted he wants to outright ban pornography.
Vances campaign didnt provide a comment about his more recent thoughts on porn, and how they would factor into his priorities as a senator.

Vance has really become a kook. Ryan, who is sensible, sane, and compassionate, has a real chance to win in Ohio, if we can GOTV!

Not the lack of a child tax credit.
Not the crippling debt of student loans.
Not the sky high cost of housing.
Not the poor health care system.
Not the sky high cost of food.
Not the underfunded public school systems.
Not the crippling isolation of America's suburbs.
Not working multiple jobs or being over worked at one job.
Not all of the reasons? It's the porn. Republicans are completely out of touch with the reality of life in America.

(24,303 posts)They think one day the whole world will be Catholic. If they had their way the population of the earth would be ten times what it is. I didn't make this up. This is what they told us in Catholic school in the 50s and 60s.
It's no wonder most Atheists I meet went to Catholic school. An Evangelical Christian I once worked with said Catholic school is where they train Atheists.

However, interactions showed that persons who identified as evangelical Protestants who lived in politically conservative states reported greater recency of pornography viewing compared with nonevangelicals or evangelicals in more politically liberal states.
