There is a vast difference between pornography and abuse, just as there is between consensual sex and abuse. The acts can be exactly the same; the difference is consent. I would never condone the making of any material that involved the non-consensual use of anyone in a sexual way.

But I would also never condone any form of censorship. That's a "cure" worse than the disease, because what I may find objectionable might be something that you may want to read, and vice versa. I'm sure you don't want President Bush and his buddies going through your book collection weeding out things that THEY might object to.
