Those who want porn will get it. It’s a need, like alcohol and tobacco. It being illegal will make teens even more interested.

It’s a need, like alcohol and tobacco

Two things that demonstrably haven't grown more popular when they've been made less accessible, despite those restrictions not having 100% success rate.

And although I don't fundamentally object to any of them, calling alcohol, tobacco and pornography a "need" just makes you sound like even more of a child.
