This does it. Banning stand-up comedians from making sexual jokes?

Are we going to go back to the days where we couldn't say the word "pregnant" on TV?

And it also looks like they're going to have all porn shut down, deleted, and destroyed. They say it's to stop kids from discovering sexuality and stop sex addiction in adults, but it's really killing a flock of birds with one oversized boulder and squashing an endangered land mammal before it can mate.

That's their goal, but most of the right aren't that prudish either.

This proves the point that the religious zealots do not have a "live and let live" philosophy. Views like these remind me of The Morality Police in Iran. A good name for the religious right would be the Moral Minority. If they feel a certain way - live their own life that way; don't try and dictate that I live MY life according to your views.

Small government only applies to guns and vaccines.

As this is going to be used to crack down on Romance novels and the like, then this shows the absolute contempt the religious right has for the arts. And to think, the sexually free wheeling, multiple adulterer, Donny Trump, is their real messiah!

Not in Texas. Abortion is almost completely banned here.

If these bills become law, how can people fight back?
