368	368	such that if any of the listed items is found by a court to be
369	369	invalid or unconstitutional, the remaining items will be severed and
370	370	may not be affected. All constitutionally valid applications of
371	371	this section shall be severed from any application that a court
372	372	finds to be invalid, leaving the valid applications in force,
373	373	because it is the intent and priority of the Legislature that the
374	374	valid applications be al lowed to stand alone. Even if a reviewing
375	375	court finds a provision of this section to be an unconstitutional
376	376	restraint in a large or substantial fraction of relevant cases, the
377	377	applications that do not present an unconstitutional restraint shall
378	378	be severed from the remaining applications and shall remain in
379	379	force, and shall be treat ed as if the Legislature had enacted a
380	380	statute limited to the person, group of persons, or circumstances
381	381	for which the application of the statute does not present an
382	382	unconstitutional restraint on protected speech. If any court
383	383	declares or finds a provision of this section facially
384	384	unconstitutional, when discrete applications of that provision can
385	385	be enforced against a persons, group of persons, or circumstances
386	386	without violating the United States Constitution and Oklahoma
387	387	Constitution, those applications s hall be severed from all remaining
388	388	applications of the provision, and the provision shall be
389	389	interpreted as if the Legislature had enacted a provision limited to
390	390	the person, group of persons, or circumstances for which the

442	442	provision’s application will not violate the United States
443	443	Constitution and Oklahoma Constitution.
444	444	E. The Legislature further declares that it would have enacted
445	445	this section, and each provision, subsection, se ntence, clause,
446	446	phrase, or word, and all constitutional applications of this
447	447	section, irrespective of the fact that any provision, subsection,
448	448	sentence, clause, phrase, or word, or application of this section,
449	449	were to be declared unconstitutional or to rep resent an
450	450	unconstitutional restraint. If any provision of this section is
451	451	found by any court to be unconstitutionally vague, then the
452	452	applications of that provision that do not present constitutional
453	453	vagueness problems shall be severed and remain in force . No court
454	454	may decline to enforce the severability requirements of this secti on
455	455	on the grounds that severance would rewrite the statute or involve
456	456	the court in legislative or lawmaking activity.
457	457	F. Each of the items of unlawful pornography in paragraph 6 of
458	458	subsection C of this section are depictions of sexual conduct which
459	459	are patently offensive under contemporary community standards in
460	460	this state, and have as their dominant theme an appeal to prurient
461	461	interest in sex under contemporary community standar ds of this
462	462	state, and may not be produced or distributed within the state if
463	463	they lack serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or
464	464	scientific purposes or value.
