I would ban the Millennials from most porn and ban the neo missionaries from getting abortions or from divorcing too often. I'm so used to being in a minority view of my generation I don't care if the majority doesn't want this.
Pornography is almost 100% commercial so I'd put it in the Libertarian (aka Plutocratic) sector of my compass, with some presence in the Inclusivist sector, though the latter tend to say things like:

It is socially left wing. Maybe it isn't fiscally left wing. The SJWs are for porn. Most abortion is not in those cases though. Most abortion is simply because a woman finds the baby inconvenient or in the future it will be because the baby isn't "normal" when we can test fetal neurology. What about the suffering the baby goes through?
There is literally a link here to a feminist site filled with articles condemning pornography. So how can you say that "SJWs are for porn?" Also, I bet you a big percentage of the participants at a MAGA rally are into porn. There's a lot of libertarian sentiment on that side - old Boomers and GenXers who are still into sex, drugs and rock n' roll.
The point of the "consensus list" isn't to say that either SJWs or MAGAs are having their way, but that as a whole we're approaching some kind of resolution of these issues. And I do agree with what pbrower posted, about all the harmful effects of pornography. I don't think it's good that it's become accepted, just noting that it has.
But if things resolve to go your way you win and if things resolve to go another you lose. Libertarians are socially all over the board and fiscally conservative most of the time. People can have mixes of views where one view is socially liberal and another view is socially conservative.
Acceptance doesn't matter much at the end of the day though, power and executive orders do. Covid has taught me that many rules can be enforced against the public at will whether they like them or not and the people would mostly follow it. Enforced laws and rules change behavior more than anything. So if there were executive orders against most types of porn, it wouldn't matter what the public thought. They'd be dragged kicking and screaming but couldn't do as much because the government made them do it.
