Yes, it would be nice if the world used a different word than child pornography, but that's not the way it is currently on an international basis. I will discuss all this at the FSC Board meeting and with the ASACP Advisory Council and Approved Members.
However, I must say that this discussion of lexicons, semantics, etc. is disturbing. My god, you are having a high level discussion about children being sexually abused. Of the 6000 monthly reports of suspect cp sites that ASACP receives, approximately 250 are determined to seemingly be CP and sent on to law enforcement.

I agree, Joan. A discussion of this nature is disturbing. I'd rather not have the words exist at all, but that's not the reality we have to contend with.
Whether pornographers choose to call themselves pornographers, smut-mongers, or Dr. Dolittle is largely irrelevant to the point of this thread, albeit a side issue resulting from it.
The point is, I believe calling the atrocities you describe by a tamer name than what they really are can only make YOUR job harder, and confuse perceptions in people's minds.
Pornography is not an apt label for these crimes.
We each do what we can. I am a writer. I use the tools at my disposal to try and affect change in ways that I can.
