You are missing quite a bit.

OK -- this really shouldn't be necessary, but here's a helpful link -- there are others, if needed:

3. Why does the ACLU support pornography? Why are you in favor of child porn?

The ACLU does not support pornography or child porn. However, we do oppose virtually all forms of censorship. Possessing certain books or films, even pornographic ones, should not make one a criminal. Once society starts censoring “bad or offensive” ideas, it becomes very difficult to draw the line. As the saying goes, “one man’s art is another man’s pornography.” As for child pornography, the ACLU supports the right of the government to prosecute the makers of child pornography for exploiting minors.

This is one of those Clinton-esque, misleading "non-denial denials".

Please note that the case is exactly as I stated earlier.  "The ACLU supports the right of the government to prosecute the makers of child pornography for exploiting minors."  And thus: the fig leaf.  Also -- note that NOWHERE in the above statement do they indicate that child porn itself should be illegal.  Just its manufacture.

Their position is entirely obvious: except for any who wish to obfuscate in the interest of hiding the clear intent behind the lawyer-ized wording.
