How on earth could someone have even the most cursory acquaintance with FR and still believe that the government is legitimately empowered to engage in social engineering under the guise of "promoting the general welfare"?? Criminalizing an intrinsic evil like pornography is "social engineering"? Do all laws represent "social engineering? What are laws for but to prevent evil and punish evildoers?

Pornography was universally criminalized in our country until the '50s, as far as I know.
