Free Speech means exactly what it says, the right to express any opinion in public without censorship or restraint by the government. There have been many questions on the topic of Free Speech and Pornography. Many people feel that pornography should not be included in Free Speech, but if someone limited what their idea of free speech was, then wouldn't that be illegal?

There are many statistics proving that pornography does not cause violence against women, and that men do not copy what they see in pornography. For example, there is no reputable research in the U.S., Europe or Asia that finds a casual link between pornography and violence. The only factor linked to rape statistics is the number of young men living in a given area.

Feminists argue that pornography is degrading to women, "we are unalterably opposed to the presentation of the female body being stripped, bound, raped, tortured, mutilated, and murdered in the name of commercial entertainment" . If this is true, how come half the adult videos in the U.S. are bought or rented by women or women in couples. I believe sexism, not sex, degrades women. A lot of information about sex and reproduction has been banned, due to the protection of women. It has never reduced sexism or violence. Ms. Magazine has already been banned from some high schools for reproducing color pictures of women's genitalia; they consider it threatening and/or obscene. "I think that pornography is a painting form of art, but in all other forms it is perceived as degrading" . In this quote I agree with what she is saying, "a painting for of art", in meaning something in a museum that was painted, that form of art. "I personally think it's not offending anyone, because if you don't want to watch it, don't. But I think that people that do it are disgusting" .

People cannot change the way other people think or how they feel, but to me, pornography is art! If there is an ugly painting
