As a Citizen of the New South Africa I Object [1995] ZAConAsmRes 905 (21 February 1995)

 

A E L Ford

21 February 1995

As a citizen of the New South Africa I object in the strongest possible terms to the legislation of pornographic magazines. Not only is this literature an infringement of Womens' Rights, but it debases them into sex objects. I respect other peoples freedom of expression, as long as it does not violate my own family,s freedom.



We (78% of RSA) Christians, have a right to bring up our children in a morally upright environment and to protect family values which are undermined by this literature. The tendency towards immorality has contributed to the disintegration of previous nations in history. The time has come to listen to the silent majority.



we urge you to re-introduce standards of moral decency which will
contribute to the fibre of family building nation.
