Pornography and ‘Adult Choices’

Until you can convince me that not one person--child, man or woman--is not in some way victimized by some of those who read and use pornography for their own selfish gratification, I will be unable to accept your premise that the First Amendment guarantees access to pornography by adults (editorial, “Adult Choices,” May 8).

Lives are ruined because of pornography. Children are shown the pictures and then they think it’s right and they can be “grown up” by copying the behavior depicted in the magazine.

I doubt the founders of the United States intended for this to happen.

I can’t see why you defend those who hurt others and forget about the victims. What about the victims’ rights?
