One News Now--An anti-pornography organization says reaction to a recent incident on an airplane demonstrates the type of heavy attack the group receives from the porn industry and those who support it.
Morality in Media's (MIM) Dawn Hawkins says she was exposed to child-themed pornography on a Delta flight to Texas last month when a man in front of her was openly viewing it on his iPad. She asked him to put it away, and even asked for help from a flight attendant, but to no avail. Following the incident, she made a YouTube video detailing her experience.
Pat Truman, president and CEO of Morality in Media, says he and everyone else in the organization were surprised by what happened next.
"A group of porn consumers produced a video and condemned her for being uncomfortable looking at pornography that she didn't want to look at and condemning her for producing a video to tell about it," he details. "And these people, many of them said that it should be fine to look at pornography on an airplane; people should just get used to it."
Truman tells OneNewsNow that MIM, its executive director, and her family have all been harassed for Hawkins' stance against pornography being displayed in public.
"These pornography consumers shouldn't assume that their rights trump everybody else's rights," Trueman contends. "Yet that's what they assume when they condemn Dawn Hawkins and try to shut down our website over this incident."
Since Hawkins' experience, MIM has been contacting airlines to make sure that they have good anti-pornography policies in place. In a new video, she reports that "surprisingly, Delta has been very positive," assuring people that they "do not allow pornography or obscenity on their airlines."
