An Oak Lawn man is not giving up on a campaign to remove pornography
from video stores, gas stations and the public library.
Mark Decker approached the Village Board Tuesday about enforcing village
obscenity ordinances, which prevent the distribution of obscene
materials.

Trustee Marjorie Joy did some sleuthing of her own, visiting a local video store that has an adults-only backroom with pornographic movies for rent.
What she saw shocked her.
"Not only is it obscenity. It is the exploitation of women. It is a disgrace," Joy told the board. "I believe the majority of people in the village do not want it. ... Every woman in this village should stand up and say this is a disgrace."
