The law is not being enforced.

Laws against obscenity are being enforced. However, generally speaking, pornography is not obscene. Simply stated, considering how many Americans buy pornography, it would seem that porn is accepted by society.

All of a sudden porn's acceptance by society has become the basis for your argument.

I thought it didn't matter what society thought.

Don't cry when conservatives ban porn and justify it as the people's will.

Ah. The old legality equals acceptance.

Cheating on your spouse is legal. A lot of people do it. Therefore, that indicates an acceptance by sociey.

Considering how people are buy their porn (in adult bookstores, through the mail, via the internet), I don't see the level of societal acceptance that you do. More like tolerance.

But if we've learned anything from the homosexual lobby, tolerance is but the first step towards acceptance, isn't it?
