Wade and the 1981 supree Court decision that held commercial nude lap dancing was Constitutionally protected speech, and Lawrence cv. Texas that converted sodomy from a sin and common law and statutory crime into a Constitutional right and, in the process, explicitly made any law originally grounded upon a religious command Constitutionally suspect, etc. Considering that a majority of the current Court is Catholic Christian and the next biggest bloc is Jewish, we need to either get this all corrected or just admit that we've joined Sodom and Gomorrah etc. Of course, as the great liberal judge Learned Hand wrote, when the spirit of liberty dies in the hearts of the citizens, no court can do much to save it. <br />
School people told me, when I was employing high school students, that many of them not only knew no reason, but a lot did not know that they had a right, to say "no" to sexual demands from bosses, teachers, older students, etc. Several years ago, the Texas House passed a bill dropping the age of consent to twelve and refused to change this in Conference Committee with the Senate until one of the religious broadcasters got wind of this, I and others got the news from there, it not being covered in the "mainstream" media, and we raised enough sand to scare them into leaving this alone. Hey, I represented suicidal victims of incestuous child sexual abuse down to pre-school and some of the perpetrators were prominent in politics, their churches, business, etc.</p>Don Altobello commented on 'Sex and the Dodd-Frank Act'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d834515a9a69e20133f38ab652970b2010-09-03T00:51:07Z2010-09-03T00:51:07ZDon Altobello"How does the sex industry get away with hiding its profit motives behind screens like "health concerns", "privacy", "autonomy", and...<p>"How does the sex industry get away with hiding its profit motives behind screens like "health concerns", "privacy", "autonomy", and obscuring the role of its own profit motives in the social crisis that Rob and Bob identify?"</p>
<p>Because they've worked hard to fashion an image of complete sexual liberty as a progressive cause. You might as well as how the Vagina Monologues managed to hide its play behind the cause of violence against women--only one script in the entire so-called play deals with violence against women, and in that case it celebrated statutory, lesbian rape (the original version was even worse, as the girl was 13 in that version).</p>Denise commented on 'Sex and the Dodd-Frank Act'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d834515a9a69e20133f386400d970b2010-09-02T17:48:01Z2010-09-02T17:48:01ZDenisehttp://www.examiner.com/x-9452-DC-Catholic-Living-ExaminerYesterday I finished the book Women, Sex, and the Church: A Case for Catholic Teaching.

(It is available for Kindle) This is the book I wish someone had given me when I was in my twenties. In addition to the two chapters you mentioned as well as your own chapter, the chapter on the all-male priesthood is a must read. It is the clearest explanation of this doctrine that I have ever read. </p>
