| Message | "At least give an explanation for it being banned. It is not explicitly mentioned as being forbidden in the Jewish religion, as far as I know, and it's not unethical. So why ban it?" -Raamiah Galgenstrick, Chairman of the GJA Foreign Minister of the SJHB |

| Message | "The reason why I chose it the way it to not have an age limit for viewing is because it is not enforceable. You can enforce regulations on production, because there are sources, but viewing cannot be tracked without becoming a police-state. If it can't be enforced, there is no point wasting money, resources, and liberty in expanding the power of the bureaucracy." -Raamiah Galgenstrick, Chairman of the GJA Foreign Minister of the SJHB |

| Message | "You may have a point in that argument, but we would rather have it banned than knowingly support a law that could see it corrupting our youth." -Gilad Lifschitz |

| Message | "If by corruption you mean as in moral, may I remind you pornography is not a sin in Judaism. However, what we need to worry about is that they might see pornography, which is usually unrealistic, and think that that is how sex actually is. Or they might engage in risky promiscuous behavior just because "it looks good." However, we can solve these problems by educating them. Should we follow this bill up with a sexual education bill, would you be willing to reconsider your vote?" -Raamiah Galgenstrick, Chairman of the GJA Foreign Minister of the SJHB |

| Message | Lust is a sin and Looking at pornography is lust therefor it is a sin. |

| Message | My party regards pornography as spiritually, morally and socially unhealthy, as well as degrading to women. If this was a debate about decriminalising pornography under strictly regulated circumstances, we would be prepared to listen, but we cannot conceive of supporting bombarding our children with these corrupting images. Melanie Koffenbaum (Leader of the JMU) |
