Reuters and others report that the GOP is calling for a crackdown on pornography - "a move that could pit social conservatives against hotel operators, television providers and other businesses that profit" from selling porn.
Republicans have added language to their official platform that anti-porn activists say would encourage the federal government to increase prosecution of pornography involving adults, the article says.

A vote on the document that contains the language is scheduled Tuesday, the article says.
With this request, anti-pornography activist Patrick Trueman told Reuters that the language would fuel a broader push against sexually explicit content sold by hotels via pay-per-view, convenience stores and cable providers.
Reuters points out that Trueman was one of the social conservatives who criticized Mitt Romney during his 2008 presidential bid for having served on the board of directors of Marriott International, which offered porn via pay-per-view programming to guests, Reuters reports.

Pay-per-view profits have been declining for years for hotels as people bring their own forms of entertainment or access content - such as porn - on the Internet.

Hotel porn made headlines over the summer when two religious scholars asked hotels to stop selling porn.
