	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Public Honesty (Decency)
		In canon law carnal intercourse, licit or otherwise, is the principle of affinity; in Roman law, it is valid marriage, whether consummated or not.
		By carnal intercourse public decency gives way to affinity, and, though some deny this, all admit that in a petition for a dispensation it is sufficient to express the impediment of affinity, while public decency, if it still exist, is understood.
		Since the impediment of public decency is of ecclesiastical origin it follows that the Church may dispense from it, and that it does not affect unbaptized persons, even though later they become Christians.

	Decency Quotes & Quotations compiled by GIGA
		If once a woman breaks through the barriers of decency, her ease is desperate; and if she goes greater lengths than the men, and leaves the pale of propriety farther behind her, it is because she is aware that all return is prohibited, and by none so strongly as by her own sex.
		Decency is not defined, by statute, but the laws of instinct are stronger.
		Decency is the least of all laws, yet the law which is most strictly observed.

	Decency Propaganda Media 205 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		In particular, the idea of decency as it relates to the covering of the human body is so prevalent and internalized world-wide that most of us, no matter how liberal, cannot overcome inhibitions about our own bodies and clothing.
		As recently as 1995, the Communications Decency Act was passed in the USA, prohibiting "indecency in cyberspace".
		It is usually not an intentional campaign, as one might perceive a true conspiracy to be, because the parties promoting the ideas are sincere and view themselves as righteous and benevolent and in some cases supporting the values of their founding fathers.

	The Communications Decency Act (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		The Communications Decency Act, recently passed by the Senate (and condemned by Speaker Gingrich) was a blatant act of political grandstanding by people who do not understand the Internet and who do not care.
		Now suppose that Congress chose to pass such a law, including in it a substantive standard completely inconsistent with prior law, so that materials which could be legally transported by horse or railroad were illegal if carried by car.
		Speaker Gingrich's declaration this week that the Communications Decency Act was overkill is a promising sign that it will not clear the House.

	The Telecommunications Act of 1996: A Commentary on What Is Really Going on Here
		By foisting the Decency Act on the American public, Congress has created a forum for an emotional issue that grabs everyone's attention, knowing that the provisions will not stand up to legal challenges.
		The Decency Act creates, in the minds of some, a moral high-ground, presumably to protect America's youth.
		However, the Decency Act, one way or the other, has very little to do with the real issues facing consumers and their public communications infrastructure.

		Because, however, the author of the information at issue claimed he did not mean for the defendant operator of the listserv to publish it, the Ninth Circuit remanded the case to the District Court for a determination as to whether the listserv operator was entitled to immunity under the CDA in this particular case.
		While the defendants were "interactive service providers" within the meaning of the statute by virtue of their operation of the Matchmaker website, defendants were not entitled to the statute's protection because of the role they played in originating the content in question.
		Court holds that those engaging in web site hosting activities are immunized by the Communications Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. 230(c) from liability arising out of their involvement, via those activities, in the dissemination or publication of information originating from third parties.

	Legion of Decency
		The Legion of Decency was formed in 1934 to combat immoral movies.
		And the Legion of Decency's ratings were very strict, much more strict than the modern Catholic Bishops' movie rating system (which has been sadly ineffective in influencing the making of movies).
		The Encyclopedia claimed that the encyclical called for the Legion of Decency to be more positive, to put its emphasis on promoting good movies rather than condemning bad movies, and have more respect for people's consciences.

	CDT \| Communications Decency Act (CDA)
		Writing for the court, Justice John Paul Stevens held that "the CDA places an unacceptably heavy burden on protected speech" and found that all provisions of the CDA are unconsitutional as they apply to "indecent" or "patently offensive" speech.
		The Communications Decency Act was passed in February 1996.
		It is also important to note that the CDA was not about child pornography, obscenity, or using the Internet to stalk children.

	"Evolving Standards of Decency"
		The citizens, legislators, and governor of Missouri (and those of 19 other states) had, it turned out, fallen grievously and unconstitutionally behind "the evolving standards of decency that mark a maturing society." Five justices decided that the Constitution prevented anyone under the age of 18 from being sentenced to death.
		The federal judges chose not to explain why "evolving standards of decency" might not allow Terri Schiavo to be kept alive until the case was argued in federal court.
		The judges assumed nothing new or meaningful would be learned from such an argument, or that the federal legislation might be found unconstitutional.

	CNN - Communications Decency Act Main Page
		In Reno vs. ACLU, the United States Supreme Court has rejected the Communications Decency Act, the 1996 legislation which attempted to ban the transmission of obscene or indecent material across the Internet.
		As the first Supreme Court ruling on how the First Amendment and traditional free speech principles apply to the Internet, Reno vs. ACLU is likely to have far-reaching effects on cyberspace for some time to come.
		The spirit of the CDA lives on: more than 20 state legislatures have fashioned their own attempts to regulate Internet speech, and the CDA's friends in Congress could soon draft more court-proof federal legislation.

		This prohibition of indecent material is part of the Bill commonly known as the Communications Decency Act or the Exon Amendment (after its leading sponsor in the Senate).
		The Cato Institute (http://www.cato.org/), for example, warns that instead of moving communications into the future, the Communications Decency Act "threatens to lobotomize the Internet."

	Moral Development [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		There is good reason for preferring such a utilitarian lean as well; the perennial list of criticisms lodged against utilitarianism call for it.
		Utilitarianism is unable to assure minimal fairness and equality, to view such considerations and others as morally inherent and untradable, to create moral disjuncts that set upper limits on obligation and lower limits on decency, to accord proper place and protection for individual autonomy, and the like.
		While Kohlberg never attempted such an analysis, those criticizing the lack of one never even suggested why it would be difficult to perform.
