Be courageous in the face of opposition

As I peruse the web, looking for other anti-pornography groups to support, I'm surprised, or I guess I'm not, at the opposition to anti-pornography groups, or in other words, people who are pro-pornography.  There seems to be more of those groups than those of the anti ones.  What I do find to be particularly surprising though, is that the voice of many of the pro supporters, are women.  Does that surprise you?  Support for, or at least lack of opposition to pornography can come from Social Liberal and Libertarian support, on the basis that the ability to produce or consume is a form of freedom; Feminist support on the basis that the ability to produce or consume pornography is one aspect of general freedom for women; and Harm-reduction based programs that say pornography does more good than harm.  Many feminists, and I won't even waste my time writing their names or give them any notoriety of any form, are opposed to censorship, and have argued against the introduction of anti-porn legislation in the US.  Some even claim that there is a direct correlation between pornography and a decrease in sex crimes.
All of us here on this earth have the freedom to choose what we will.  It's God's greatest gift to us all.   But in life, there is opposition.  In fact, there is opposition in all things, and for a good purpose.  Good vs. Evil, Right vs. Wrong, Happy vs. Sad.  Do you see where I'm getting at?  I'll let God's word do the talking, since it can explain it far better than I can. 
"And men are instructed sufficiently that they know good from evil.  And the law is given unto men.  And by the law no flesh is justified....For it must needs be that there is an opposition in all things, for if not, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness nor holiness, nor misery, neither good nor bad...Wherefore, the Lord God gave unto man that he should act for him self save it should be that he was enticed by the one or the other...wherefore, men are free to choose liberty and eternal life or choose captivity and death."  2nd Nephi chapter 2 Book of Mormon.   In short, we couldn't know one without knowing the other, and by knowing both sides, hopefully we'll choose the correct side.  After all, wickedness never was happiness.
So on the opposite side of the Pro pornography supporters, and gratefully so, are the anti-pornography supporters.  There are many professionals who assert that extensive viewing of pornographic material, can produce many unfavorable social  effects, including a decreased respect for long-term, monogamous relationships.  Additionally, some researchers claim that pornography causes unequivocal  harm to society by increasing rates of sexual assault.  The complete opposite of what the pro..ers claim. Dr. Dolf Zillmann of the University of Alabama, who has done extensive research of the negative effects of pornography has said: "The values expressed in pornography clash so obviously with the family concept, and they potentially undermine the traditional values that favor marriage, family, and children... Pornographic scripts dwell on engagements of parties who have just met, who are in no way attached or committed to each other, and who will part shortly, never to meet again....gratification in pornography is not a function of emotional attachment, of kindness, of caring, and especially not of continuance of the relationship, as such continuance would translate into responsibilities, curtailments, and costs."
So now that both sides have been represented, I'm going to inject that pornography indeed harms. I'm not a doctor of any kind, but I don't have to be to know that consuming pornography can result in addictive and destructive behaviors. The user may think they're in control and can stop at any time, they may not even think it's a big deal, until family relationships are disintegrating, careers are ruined, and in essence lives are broken.  I also believe it will take courageous people, women in particular, to help others see that pornography is deceitful and a lie.  Women who are willing to stare down the face of opposition in order to save our husbands, sons, friends and heroes.  Women who, although my be ridiculed or persecuted, are willing to speak up and speak out in order to keep evil at bay. Freedom lies not in doing evil just because we can, but in doing good because its what ultimately brings happiness.  Ester of the Old Testament was such a courageous woman, and I know there are many courageous women out there.
