Legalization of porn - which happened by the threesome of the ACLU, leftist activist judges, and the porn industry, NOT by our elected representatives (keep this in mind) mandates that the various states, counties, cities and so on have no right to limit or restrict porn. They have a few little rights like porn shops can't be located within a certain number of feet from schools, or underage kids can't go buy it in "adult" shops.
But with porn all over the internet, it is inevitable that kids are exposed to it. And a certain number of adults who indulge are then more likely to seek out children or adolescents as sex partners.
Another point is that by legalizing porn, the sexual content of all media including advertising is "dumbed down". We see yearly that explicit sexual content is more and more pervasive. The amorality crowd think this is fine, but it is not.
They (you?) say that if someone does't want porn in their life, they don't have to access it. That's the same arugment abortion proponents say - if you don't like abortion, don't have one.
When we turn our culture into a garbage dump, the stench, flies and rats are everywhere, they can't be avoided.
24.Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural and healthy."
This is the Gramscian agenda of the "long march through the institutions" spelled out explicitly: gradual takeover of the "means of communication" and then using those vehicles to debauch the culture and weaken the will of the individual to resist.
Today those few who still have the courage to advocate public morality are denounced and viciously attacked. Most Americans are entirely unwitting regarding the motives behind this agenda.
That's not "no right to limit or restrict." Short of outright banning, what further restrictions would you want that the courts have forbidden?

Unless parents do their job and monitor Internet use. Why should adults who want porn be restricted so parents don't have to do their jobs?

A certain number of adults use alcohol to work up their nerve to commit crimes, but I don't think that's a sufficient reason to ban alcohol; do you?

I don't think it's fine either, but I doubt it wouldn't have happened if porn had remained more restricted.

Abortion violates a person's rights; porn made and viewed by consenting adults does not.
