Please. What has been side stepped here is that those who make such statements as the one above have yet to substantiate their Chicken Little claims in any meaningful manner whatsoever.
Me - "What has been side stepped here by many is just how insidious a danger this stuff poses."

Let me explain what I mean by an insidious danger. Let us totally put aside moral arguments. Also, let us drop discussions about the connection of porn with rape, serial killing, rape, etc.
I think most would agree that it is in society's best interests for there to be stable marraiges and young men entering into marraige with proper sexual expectations.
Pornography hurts those basic things. It creates in many men (I can't speak for women) the desire to have something that is artificial and indeed fictional. Real women can seldom look as good as those centerfold models. Also, a wife that has aged a few years and put on weight because of age and children cannot look like those manequins in Playboy. Men, married men to, by nature tend to have roving eyes, we don't need anything out there to encourage it. Married sex lives have been harmed by the husband toying with pornography.
In the case of young men, it creates in them an unrealistic view about what a young woman should look like. This can also cause them problems when they marry.
I apologize that I cannot give you rock solid scientific study evidence. I hope you are reasonable enough to see what is self evident. If for no other reason than it is counter productive to marital satisfaction, then I would be against pornography.
