The fact that there are girls or women coerced or manipulated or drugged into it doesn't make it merely an issue of "free speech". There are acts occurring that are foul beyond belief.

Anyone with half a brain knows that you have to draw the line somewhere.
And who decides where that line is drawn? Do you get to decide? That's the crux of the problem here. Who ultimately decides what is "acceptable" and what isn't.

Sorry -You do not get to force your beliefs on the majority.
We the people of the USA - disagree with your personal opinion - the consensus is that it does great harm - it warps your mind and victimizes women- as a result we have obscenity laws.

But the majority gets to force it's beliefs on you....... Love the contradiction.
If this is the case, what would the difference be in forcing religion or political ideologies on the minority?

It isn't a contradiction, it's called "democracy".
Uh, who is forcing whose beliefs on others? In this case, as with many others dealing with "obscenity" it seems to be the religious nutjobs who think others should follow along with their moral code.
If they don't like what MH produces, they don't have to watch it. It's that simple.
instead, they choose to take away others right to watch something they disagree with.
Warps your mind and victimizes women? hahaha thats simply laughable.
Hear that one in church?

SENATE COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE, SCIENCE, AND TRANSPORTATION
Subcommittee on Science, Technology, and Space
Hearing on the Brain Science Behind Pornography Addiction
and the Effects of Addiction on Families and Communities
EXCERPT:testimony Jeffrey Satinover, M.S., M.D.
Like cigarettes, that particular form of expression we call pornography,
unlike all other forms of expression, is a delivery system that has a distinct and powerful effect upon the human brain and nervous system. Exactly like cigarettes, and unlike any other form of expression, this effect is to cause a powerful addiction. Like any other addiction, the addiction is both to
the delivery system itself—the pornography—and to the chemicals that the delivery system delivers.
It may seem surprising that, at this juncture, I should speak of “chemicals”, when one might be thinking instead of “sex.” But, in fact, modem science allows us to understand that the underlying nature of an addiction to pornography is chemically nearly identical to a heroin
addiction: Only the delivery system is different, and the sequence of steps. That is why heroin addicts in particular give up sex and routinely compare their “rushes” to “orgasms”.

You are trying to force your approval of disgusting violent porn on the rest of society. We don't want it. We passed laws. The jury has spoken - You lose - get over it.
You want to force your opinion to accept violent smut on the rest of the culture and we say NO to your offensive tyranny.
By your logic if you don't like kiddie porn or snuff films - you don't have to watch it either. But we don't allow that.
Newsflash: now Max hardcore is included. The jury says he harms society. Don't like the jury system? Then move to communist China.
Its perfectly acceptable to take peoples rights for the good of society. We do it all the time. Some people will harm others and we need to be protected. That's why we have Laws. To make it easier for you to get into your skull some more extreme examples are - We don't allow snuff films or kiddie porn. Your objections do not matter - a jury weighed the evidence. You weren't there.
Ever here of scientific evidence? Try it sometime...
