Child pornography is something that bypasses our brains and goes straight to our viscera. It's probably hardwired into our species that we should want to kill anyone who harms our young. I can't easily talk about it rationally either -- I get the same visceral reaction. The problem comes in when we allow those definitions to expand, and to be attached to the reactions we already have.

This entire post (I've removed most of it from the quote due to the length) sums up my feelings exactly on the matter. I've nothing more to add.
