Child pornography is illegal because it can't be made with knowledgeable consent. That is hardly and artificial difference. That is why it was deemed "inappropriate".

How does someone miraculously attain "knowledgeable consent" one second after midnight of their 18th birthday? And here I thought the pro-porn crowd didn't believe in miracles?

This is the very definition of "artificial difference."

The concept of "consent" is itself a moral concept. The Libertarian Party platform calls for the abolition of age limits in sexual commerce.
