Child porn should not be illegal to possess or view. If you think it should be, then you are pro censorship.
it's a two headed sword.
in order to posses/view, it must be made somehow, which creates a market
but some believe that if a pedo doesn't get his CP fix, he/she will resort to more desperate measures (kidnapping followed by shit i don't want to think abou)
so it comes down to the lesser of the two evils in my book
No people having sexual attraction to children creates the market. But realistically there is not much of a pay market for child porn. People produce child porn because they are exhibitionists with pedophilic tendencies or because they are sadists. Other people with similar tendencies view the child porn. Viewing child porn has no effect on production, harms nobody and should be completely legal. I am not pro-pedophilia by any means and you wont see me arguing that kids should have sex or that pedophilia is normal. However, you also wont find me buying the bullshit the government and anti groups spew since this is equally bullshit.

Actually, the vast majority of child porn is created by teenagers with camera phones.
