People can and do still write missions for porn fics. I've done several in the last year (with probably varying levels of success in the humor department). I can think of at least a few others who have written missions to fics that if they weren't purely porn fics, then they were very high on the sex content, and often very NSFW. I think this type of content tends to be more common in Bad Slash than DMS, but isn't exclusive.
Like Neshomeh said, it isn't that you can't do a mission to an NSFW fic, it's that you have to be able to make it humorous.
(Anyway, I hope I'm not bandwagoning too much here.)

(in addition to my reply to Neshomeh) the link's dead because someone decided to target me and reported my websites as "adult content". So I've taken down anything Clbr__n related. I'll probably be rewriting the mission to cut out any trace of adulthood... adultery? Whatever the word is.

A couple of factors are in play here. First, "Celebrian" has the benefit of being utterly, nonsensically ridiculous, so yeah, there was plenty of humor potential.
Second, a bit of PPC history. The mission to "Celebrian" inadvertently kicked off a bit of a "who can PPC the worst squick?" competitive mentality, which pretty quickly resulted in Do Not Want, so the active Boarders at the time put their collective foot down about that sort of thing: a) Like I said, squick, however squicky, does not necessarily make a good mission, and b) Your Kink Is Not My Kink, and if it's not your kink, you're not going to be objective about the subject matter, so you shouldn't PPC it. (Granted, we're all a little biased about what can and can't be done in our fandoms, but most of us still have the capacity to realize that most ideas can be done well--even Girl Falls Into Middle-earth.)
As everyone who's commented has agreed, it's incredibly unlikely that this fic is anyone's real kink, and if it were, I'd suppose that abortion is such a touchy subject that it would be dangerous to admit it. Therefore, this one is best left alone.
In retrospect, I realize I may have come down too hard on this subject because of my previous experience with the poster, so I apologize for that, but I'm not backing down about the logging in thing. Someone who consistently refuses to be identified, even by a made-up penname, makes me very nervous.
