It was just a few months ago when state policymakers in Utah approved a measure condemning pornography as a ?public health crisis.? Gov. Gary Herbert (R) signed a resolution, approved by the GOP-led legislature, calling for new policies to combat the porn scourge.
And at the time, much of the country had a good laugh about this, recognizing that Utah is one of the nation?s most conservative states, more likely than most to overreact to a pornography ?crisis? that doesn?t really exist. But as Yahoo News reported yesterday, Republicans in Utah evidently aren?t alone on the issue.
Republican delegates unanimously adopted an amendment to their draft platform Monday morning that called pornography ?a public health crisis? and a ?public menace? that is destroying lives.
