Again, the name fits the story. When you're battling porn you don't want to have "Clapp" has your middle name.
from www.onenewsnow.com - Anti-porn experts are revealing battle plans Tuesday in Washington.
Limited effort has been expended over the past decade to enforce America's obscenity laws. That is why a coalition of concerned groups is taking time today at the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center to deliver a briefing titled "Pornography Harms: What Congress can do to enforce existing laws."
Cris Clapp Logan [pictured] is director of communications for Enough is Enough, one of the groups involved in the presentation on Capitol Hill. Logan tells OneNewsNow from the steps of Congress that part of the reason the Department of Justice (DOJ) has not done more to enforce obscenity statutes is that it has a lot on its plate.
"[They're] going after child pornography, which is, of course, always illegal. [And they're] going after predators," says Logan. "They have a lot of other things that they are doing, but we think it's vitally important for the health of our nation...our children, and our culture for them to also prosecute obscenity. And so that's really where Congress can really come in."
Congress, she points out, can appropriate the needed funds and hold the DOJ's feet to the fire. Logan says pornography has done tremendous harm to children, to adults -- and to relationships.
"We've seen a breakdown in marriage and family because of addiction to pornography," the group spokeswomen explains. "We've also seen, of course, an impact on the economy as workers are spending a lot of time looking at pornography because of their addiction. And we also know that there are ties as well to modern-day slavery, [to] sex trafficking."
While the experts are in Washington to urge the government to take action, Logan says people at home have a role in contacting their elected representatives to tell them that enough is enough.
