Thank you for joining for this important topic: God, Gender, and Pornography. In an interesting twist of God's rich providence, our teens are looking at this subject with a guest upstairs this evening.

Few knew much or anything about the Internet. So the librarians of the court designed a tutorial for them. They set up sessions for two justices at a time and their clerks. As it happened, our Rehnquist group was paired with Justice O'Connor's. In a small room gathered the chief, O'Connor, and their respective law clerks. The librarians' purpose was to demonstrate to the justices how easy it was to find porn on the Internet.
I remember standing behind the computer, watching the librarian go to a search engine, turn off the filters, and type in [a] word ... After she pressed ''return,'' a slew of hard-core, explicit images showed up on screen.'' Here I was, a 26-year-old man looking at explicit porn with Justice Sandra Day O'Conno ...
