Flutterby™! : Stark nudity on slick paper

One of the reasons I'm pro-pornography is that I look at some of the figures lined up against it and think "how can anything they're opposing be bad?" Susie Bright linked to a great example of one such, a YouTube video of Part 1 of the 1965 propaganda film "Perversion for Profit" (here's the Internet Archive version). Funded by that right upstanding citizen Charles Keating, who later was shown to have stolen huge amounts in the 1980s Savings and Loan scandal, it's a testament to the moral cancer that ripped through this country in the 1950s and early '60s (and '80s and aughts, for that matter), all of those slimeballs who claimed to be Americans but trampled any notion of freedom and liberty with their narrow minded hatred.

In her entry which linked to the video, Susie also recounts her run-in with the narrator:

He tried to shut down my high school underground newspaper, in 1974, because we ran a very dry article on birth methods control - trés Our-Bodies-Ourselves- with a diagram that he told his TV audience was "the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in my life." It was a cross-section drawing of women's genitalia!

But it is interesting to listen to the rhetoric and look for echoes of the unsubstantiated claims in the modern-day moralists.
