Fifty Shades Of Grey' Valentine's Day Petition: Mommy Porn Movie Promotes "Abuse"

Is 'Fifty Shades of Grey' just a book and movie masquerading as pornography? One group believes so is petitioning for 'Fifty Shades of Grey' to not be released nationwide in cinemas on Valentine's Day.

LifePetitions has close to 35,000 signatures in its attempt to make "50 Shades the worst box-office flop in history." The petition is addressed to the executives at Universal Pictures and Focus Features and accuses the movie of promoting "misogyny, abuse, and sado-masochism."

The LifePetitions project is "a community of grassroots activists who are harnessing the power of social media to create real change to help build a true 'Culture of Life,'" according to their website www.lifepetitions.com.

The site is full of articles condemning 'Fifty Shades of Grey' with one urging readers to steer clear of the book and now movie.

"Hopefully you've already decided by now that Fifty Shades of Grey isn't worth your time, but since, as Christians, we're called to engage the culture for Christ, it'll be helpful for you to know a few things about it so that you can converse sensibly and convincingly with your friends and coworkers," the site wrote.

LifePetitions even promoted a video titled "Four lies about sexuality in Fifty Shades of Grey."

The 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' Valentine's Day petition that "opposition to the book and movie crosses the ideological spectrum, with many feminists expressing grave concerns about the messages the book is sending to young men and women. One post on the leading feminist website Jezebel slammed the book (and by extension, the movie) as "50 Shades of Abuse."
