Agroup of men campaigning against what they call the “pandemic” of pornography say that their fight is “directly linked” to the fight against abortion.
“We see the fight against pornography as part of the battle against abortion,” Mark Houck, co-founder of The King’s Men, told LifeSiteNews.
The King’s Men, founded in 2006, trains men of all ages through retreats, formation programs, and accountability groups to engage in “noble battles” by becoming “leaders, protectors, and providers”. They are trained to fight in what Houck calls the “key battlefields” of “abortion, pornography, and the defense of traditional marriage.”
Houck is convinced that there is a causal link between a culture saturated with pornography and the more than 54 million abortions in the USA since Roe v. Wade made the procedure legal in 1973.
“The majority of abortions are committed on women in relationships outside of the context of marriage,” he said, pointing out that the porn industry has fueled such behavior by separating the pleasure of sexual activity from the “free-faithful-fruitful-total context of spousal love”.
“These women who become pregnant and then abort are typically over-sexualized by a variety of things, whether it’s through messages in movies, television, or the culture of porn that surrounds them.”
Houck said that one has only to follow the “story of the sexual revolution” to discover the link between high abortion rates and a culture dominated by pornography.
