This is the argument that porn is a form of free speech. We actually don't have absolute free speech, as one is still not entitled to yell "fire" in a crowded theatre. We have to be careful of definitions, but I suspect if the intent is to cause bodily harm, it isn't, and never has been protected speech. Three guesses what "Speech" Dworkin was against ?

Spot on. I almost made a follow up comment asking if being anti-porn is what they meant. It certainly takes a galaxy brain to think being against porn is directly equivalent to being anti- freedom of speech.
