Of course, the vast majority of people here are unapologetically for choice, just like the vast majority of people here don't think consenting adults watching other consenting adults have sex is a big deal. Certainly not worth the fights, the hand-wringing, the moaning and gnashing of teeth we periodically see over it.

And yet, the religious right, the Rick Santorums, want to do away with abortion, contraception, AND consenting adult porn.

Seems to me pretty cut and dried. It would take a lot of deliberate pot-stirring to muddle that sort of clarity.
