Linda Marchiano(Lovelace) tried to sue the people in charge of her films because she suffered from being coerced into pornography. Dworkin asked [[Catharine MacKinnon]] to help Marchiano but there were no standing laws to support her case. An ordinance was drafted to allow people to sue the producers of pornography, which was supported by radical feminists and conservatives but other feminist groups argued it blocked women's right to explore their sexuality. A couple cities adopted it but the U.S. Supreme court deemed it unconstitutional.
