The Arizona State Senate voted Monday to declare pornography a public health crisis, but beyond stating such on their resolution, no further action is set to be taken.
The bill states that"pornography perpetuates a sexually toxic environment that damages all areas of our society," proceeding to list that"potential detrimental effects on pornography users include toxic sexual behaviors, emotional, mental and medical illnesses and difficulty forming or maintaining intimate relationships."
The bill first passed in the Arizona House of Representatives on Feb. 25, with 32 votes in favor and 28 against. The text of the bill is less than a page and takes no tangible action beyond calling for the members of the state legislature to"denounce pornography as a public health crisis." She said it will still have an impact"because it's the first time we're making a statement... about the epidemic of pornography," according to the paper.
