He continued, “None of this is normal. Each one of these evils is a result of a policy choice to not stand for what we know is right. Opposing these evils does not mean we are extremists. It means we are sane.”
“We can and should imagine and move toward a society that celebrates virtue in the public square rather than vice,” Deevers added. “We can restore normalcy, decency, and morality; we can protect the most vulnerable, restore a high view of marriage, and shield children from explicit material that can warp their innocent minds.”
Deevers concluded the press statement by saying, “We simply must have the courage to stand against the most radical and degenerate elements of the far-left.”
In a statement to ChurchLeaders, Deevers said, “You have to ask yourself, ‘Why is he the first one to run a bill to abolish porn? Why haven’t Christian legislators done this for the past 50 or 100 years?'”
“At the time the first amendment was written, common law did not recognize or support porn as a 1A right,” he added. “So, it’s a demonically hatched lie to say it’s protected.”
Deevers argued that “Satan wants us bound in it and fighting for it as though to rid ourselves of it is a violation of our fundamental rights.” He further said that “even the church has become so desensitized to porn that I look crazy for running this legislation. May God be glorified in abolishing pornography from our state.”
