Adults Buy Smut Policy Draft Recommends Repeal
The President's Commission on Obscenity and Pornography proposes repealing laws banning adult purchase or possession of pornographic material while keeping safeguards to shield children from exposure. The draft, not yet approved, notes no proven harm from pornography to adults or children but supports parental rights and warns against enforcing morality through public displays or mail ads. It also says the smut industry is small and unlikely to be significantly affected by changes.
