Banning Pornography and Protecting the First Amendment in Oklahoma

Senator Dusty Divers has introduced a bill in Oklahoma that aims to ban pornography and protect the first amendment rights of the people. The bill criminalizes the production, distribution, and consumption of pornography while allowing civil lawsuits against producers and distributors. It utilizes the three-prong obscenity test established in the Miller v. California case to determine if speech or expression can be labeled as obscene and therefore not protected by the first amendment. The bill aligns with the Oklahoma GOP platform's support for anti-pornography laws.
