I commend Rick Santorum’s vow to end America’s “pandemic of pornography.”

One look around and one can see that we are no longer living in Bedford Falls but in Pottersville — that place so very far from “A Wonderful Life.” Temptations to sins of the flesh abound everywhere — from billboards, art and newspapers to television, music and the Internet. Even the law encourages sexual depravity by its legalization of contraceptives, prostitution, abortion, homosexuality and same-sex marriage.

Apart from abortion, pornography is perhaps the most pressing issue of our age. It is a big business that victimizes everyone including those who market and sell it. The Internet especially makes it possible for pornography to enter every home with the potential of corrupting whole families, including children. It is degrading, ruins family relations and leads to everything from incest, adultery, prostitution and violence to human trafficking and murder.

Let’s get America off the boulevard of broken dreams. Pick Rick!
