In 1987, Phyllis Schlafly published Pornography’s Victims, which excerpts the testimony given to the U.S. Department of Justice’s Commission on Pornography. As she wrote in the introduction:
Pornography corrupts and absolutely uncontrolled pornography corrupts absolutely…pornography is addictive…those who become addicted crave more and more bizarre and more perverted pornography, and become more callous toward their victims. Pornography changes the perceptions and attitudes of men toward women, individually and collectively, and desensitizes men so that what was once repulsive and unthinkable eventually becomes not only acceptable but desirable. What was once fantasy becomes reality. Thus conditioned and stimulated by pornography, the user seeks a victim.
