SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- An Orem therapist is in the nation's capitol today presenting findings from her research on how Internet pornography affects families and marriage.
Jill Manning is one of three witnesses testifying today before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution.
Manning, a family and marriage therapist, spent five months in Washington, D-C earlier this year compiling the research on Internet porn and its affects on family life.
Manning says this is the first time in history that the issue of pornography has been handled in the Senate in the context of marriage and family. Typically, she says, the Senate has addressed pornography as a very individually focused topic.
Senator Sam Brownback will be the chairman of the hearing, which is scheduled to begin at noon MST.
After the hearing, all three testimonies will be posted online at http://brownback.senate.gov/ or www.heritage.org.
