Georgia Prosecutor:
How could you as a good Christian defend this filth? Larry Flynt:
[while on the witness stand]
I don't have to. It may be wrong in some people's opinion to portray women the way I have, but it's not illegal it may not be the smartest thing to have too much to drink but it's not illegal. Abortion may be more morally "repugnant" but right now but it's not illegal. If you want to change the law that's another discussion but our right to decide for ourselves cannot be restricted. George Orwell said," if liberty means anything it means the right to tell people what they don't want to hear", America is the strongest country in the world today only because it is the freest country and if it ever loses its sight on its basic heritage and the principles involved then we will no longer be free

Mr Flynt how can you as a good Christian defend this filth
00:00:07.073 --> 00:00:08.665
I don't have to
00:00:08.875 --> 00:00:11.173
It may be wrong in some people's opinion
00:00:11.377 --> 00:00:15.711
to portray women the way I have but it's not illegal
00:00:15.915 --> 00:00:20.818
It may not be the smartest thing to drink too much but it's not illegal
00:00:21.002 --> 00:00:26.322
You know abortion may be morally repugnant but right now it's not illegal
00:00:26.526 --> 00:00:29.188
If we want to change the laws that's another discussion
00:00:29.395 --> 00:00:35.664
But our right to decide for ourselves cannot be restricted
00:00:36.236 --> 00:00:41.196
You know George Orwell said that if liberty means anything
00:00:41.407 --> 00:00:45.503
it means the right to tell people what they don't wanna hear
00:00:45.712 --> 00:00:50.547
Now America is the strongest country in the world today
00:00:50.075 --> 00:00:53.844
only because it is the freest country
00:00:54.997 --> 00:00:58.615
And if it ever loses sight of its basic heritage
00:00:58.825 --> 00:01:04.001
and the principles involved then we will no longer be free
