I remember 10-20 years ago, all the Conservatives said porn proliferation would lead to more sex crimes. Well, broadband internet has practically made porn mainstream these days, with Jenna Jamison being a household name.
Has rape statistics risen over the last 15-20 years? Nope.
Ever since 1973, when the Justice Dept, started keeping statistics on rapes, there have been about 1.5-2.5 rapes per 1000 people.
Ever since 1995 when the Internet started to boom, rapes have steadily dropped from 1.5 to 0.9 to 0.6 and finally in 2004 it was 0.4 rapes per 1000 people.

Conservatives are wrong about social cause-and-effects time and time again. But they still think they are RIGHT.

They're still around and still claiming the same lies. See the current Justice Dept.
