Phoenix, Ariz., Feb 13, 2019 / 17:44 pm
An Arizona legislator has introduced a resolution that would declare pornography to be a public health crisis in the state.
Although the measure would not have legal consequences, it would declare pornography as perpetuating a "sexually toxic environment that damages all areas of our society."
The resolution was introduced on Feb. 7 by Rep. Michelle Udall, (R-Mesa). Having passed through committee, the measure will next be voted on by the entire Arizona House.
"Like the tobacco industry, the pornography industry has created a public health crisis," Udall told lawmakers, according to AZ Central. "Pornography is used pervasively, even by minors."
