...there is also talk of presenting "scientific evidence" that pornography causes "physiological harm," as determined by the likes of Dr. Judith Reisman.
The one who  invented 'erototoxins'!

This kind of threat has been going on for years. Problem is when the first complaints came in there wasn't enough longitudinal evidence that porn increased hostilities, damage etc.. Now it's well over ten years later, much more and there's tons of data on what porn can be responsible for and not.
The negatives to their arguments aren't necessarily Constitutional rights, but civil rights. That's far too complex an issue to detail here.
The strength of their movement will be in the criminal activity of adult webmasters and related businesses toward the public and pornmeisters toward pornmeisters. In the past few years as more junkies and degenerate gamblers started emerging as pornmeisters they started attacking one another. Libel and slander and theft. Industry corroding from the inside allows even the smallest attack from the outside to bring the industry to a crawl. If I ever chose to go against the adult industry I could drop so much heat you wouldn't be able to post a picture of your girlfriend in a pair of Dr. Dentons.
If this industry is going to survive it has to police itself so stringently as to not allow for mistakes. However, that's impossible to do because any one guy with a good looking girlfriend can start a new branch of this industry.
From now on this industry is going to have to deal with the more shit it starts the more shit it has to scrape off it's shoes.
