There are many counter-examples of countries with more liberal pornography distribution yet far less rape. It's like trying to pin the US murder rate on a single factor, like people blame rock music, or rap music, or video games, or violent movies, or no-fault divorces, or no-wait handgun purchases, or racial integration, or whatever they personally oppose.

These crime rates simply aren't attributable to any one factor. Usually a comparison between US and Canadian culture can disprove overt correlations, because Canadian culture is exposed to many similar factors (similiar TV, movies, games, porn, etc.) but has far lower crime rates.
