President Obama has often encouraged fathers to take responsibility and be involved in their children’s lives. While not a new problem, this problem is growing more complex as many more people, especially men, are hurt by pornography.
Scientific studies have shown pornography is damaging by:
1. Changing how brains think about healthy intimacy.
2. Causing addictive patterns of behavior.
3. Harming the chances of having a healthy marriage.
4. Focusing on transient sexual bonds, not enduring emotional bonds needed to raise children.
A statement like the one proposed is essential because pornography is destroying marriages and separating children from fathers. Please ask President Obama to release a statement condemning pornography as hurting marriages and the well-being of children.
