During the 2020 presidential election cycle, President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans will be campaigning to “Keep America Great” by pushing back against the progressive agenda that presidential and congressional Democrats are currently espouses.
Some GOP candidates for office will even be campaigning on abolishing the Porn business.
Congressional candidate Jessi Melton, a single mother and small business owner from Boca Raton, Florida that is running against Democratic Rep. Ted Deutch, has just unveiled her initiative to tackle the human trafficking epidemic by pushing an anti-Porn agenda.
According to a campaign press release, Melton is “calling for the eradication of one of the industries she believes is complicit in the largest growing criminal enterprise in the world.”
“Solicitation of prostitution is no different than solicitation of performance in a pornographic film,” said Melton
So how is she going to do end porn if elected to congress?
Melton’s first step will be to stop entertainers from being paid to perform in pornographic films.
The first-time candidate makes a good point in that the bulk of past and present pornstars were and are victims of some form of sexual abuse, molestation or have been trafficked.
According to a 2012 SLATE article about the industry, Melton’s assertion that the “overwhelming majority of adult film stars” have been victimized is corroborated.
Here is Melton’s full statement:
“The overwhelming majority of adult film stars are victims of some form of sexual abuse, child molestation or human trafficking as a minor. No one wakes up suddenly one day and decides they want to be in a pornographic film. They are victims, as are the consumers of the content itself.
We need to go after those who are profiting off of broken families, broken women and abused children, not the performers and consumers. It is destroying our women and our families.”
Whether we target this industry at the state or federal level is yet to be determined, and it is important that we consider and respect our constitution throughout the process.” -Jessi Melton
