Bill: Childhood Innocence Protection Act

Details

Submitted by[?]: Genuine Progress Alliance

Status[?]: defeated

Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Voting deadline: May 2602

Description[?]:

This bill aims to ban all forms of sexually explicit material in television. Nudity will still be allowed provided that it is not sexually explicit.

For this bill, "sexually explicit material" is defined as any image or video material, whether real or digitally processed, displaying uncovered genitals, unsimulated sexual intercourse, masturbation, and sodomy. Artworks, however, will be exempt from this bill.

The reason for the passage of the bill is our concern on the effects of sexually explicit material on the youth. Due to the direct availability of such material, they are easily exposed to things that are too much for their mind to handle. Being exposed to such material at an early age has also been correlated with a high risk of being sexually aggressive once he or she becomes an adult, and are most likely to become sexual offenders in the future.

We hope that the libertarians in this Parliament would listen to our words and support this bill.

MessageNo censorship. If adults don't want their kids looking at nudity and sex change the channel, don't buy pornography and talk to them about you objections. Don't take it away for other adults.

ToDebating the Childhood Innocence Protection Act
MessageWhy should we even give adults the freedom to enjoy sexually explicit material on television? This is the kind of material that helps breed sex offenders and complicates one's thoughts on sex.

If you insist on having sexually explicit material being present in television, then it must be under the condition that it would be through pay-per-view. Not a local channel, not a cable channel. Pay-per-view.
