==Biblical condemnation==
Since the consumption of pornography is always rooted in purely lustful desires, there is no biblical basis that can support any justification of such. [[1 Corinthians]] 6:18 says that " All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body."<ref>[https://www.biblestudytools.com/topical-verses/bible-verses-about-pornography/ Bible Verses about Pornography]</ref> In addition, [[Ephesians]] 5:3 adds: "But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people."
=="Right to privacy"==
While far-left organizations like the [[ACLU]]<ref>[https://www.aclu.org/blog/national-security/we-must-combat-child-pornography-without-abandoning-online-privacy We Must Combat Child Pornography Without Abandoning Online Privacy]</ref> as well as others may try to justify individual viewership of pornography on the basis of "right to privacy," it should be noted that the argument has obvious flaws, as such arguments cannot have a moral basis in justifying child pornography. Given widespread misogyny, abuse, and the extreme violence implied and sometimes even blatantly explicit in pornography, cases made to justify it quickly run on flawed logic.
In addition, those who oppose restrictions on pornography on the basis of [[1st Amendment]] absolutism may not know that many of the very Founders who helped pass the Bill of Rights would later enact the [[Alien and Sedition Acts]], which restricted speech and expressions deemed highly dangerous to the safety and well-being of the then-early United States.
