“illegal” pornography probably refers to kiddie porn.

Libertarians think its just art.

Clearly, Santorum is not talking about child pornography. Here's what Santorum said:

"Current federal 'obscenity' laws prohibit distribution of hardcore (obscene) pornography on the Internet, on cable/satellite TV, on hotel/motel TV, in retail shops and through the mail or by common carrier," it reads. "Rick Santorum believes that federal obscenity laws should be vigorously enforced."

The article goes on to say that the FBI has announced 38 convictions on child pornography counts this month. Since Santorum says that Obama isn't enforcing the law, the child pornography laws aren't the laws he's talking about.

Santorum wants the federal government to regulate the "mainstream" kind of pornography.

He's not talking about child porn. Child porn doesn't fall under obscenity laws. Child porn is the documented sexual assault of children, a whole different criminal category.
