Study Group Proposes Pornography Law Repeal
The President's Commission on Censorship and Pornography outlines tentative recommendations calling for repeal of all laws prohibiting adults from purchasing or possessing pornographic material while urging protections for children from exposure. The draft report notes no proven link between porn and crime but supports restrictions on public displays or mail ads to shield minors.
