Perhaps it's a sign of his rhetorical skill that there are still people who think fondly of him, even though time has proven him wrong on every political argument he made (Yugoslavia, the Iraq War, Michelle Obama secretly being a black separatist and a Farrakhanist, when all she ever ended up doing was the school lunch thing, etc.) I never did like him though, too smug.

You’re a brainlet if you don’t believe pathos is the height of sophistry. Even the Greeks knew this.

The entire reason Ben is a public figure is because he’s Jewish and a glitch in the matrix of left wing emotional arguments. It’s all in bad faith. The thing is is that he’s also an actual intellectual unlike someone like Milo who’s rich because of said sophistry. Ben isn’t really even that good at what he does he just commands to be listened to as he gapes the boipuccis of Liberals and fills them to the brim with his fact cum simply by being Jewish, and it’s hilarious.

I disagree entirely.
Ben Shapiro is only able to win the admiration of people who view the debate team as being higher than the stage of real life.
He comes off as rude, condescending and arrogant to the average person. In fact, your average guy probably meets Shapiro with pure and undiluted hatred. Communication is mostly non-verbal, and his sucks. His body language is terrible, his facial expressions are devoid of almost anything but disdain, his voice is nasally and weak. The end result of all this is an inability to persuade.
The super-intelligent look at him as neurotic, a piece of work. He calls out others on gaps in logic but fails to hold his own statements to the same standard. He plays the role of being objective and logical but he is like a child throwing temper tantrums sometimes, "POOR PEOPLE ARE POOR BECAUSE THEY ARE STUPID, HOW DARE THEY COMPLAIN". He grossly overgeneralizes statistics and extrapolates them as the iron laws.
The only people I see expressing any sort of fondness or admiration for Shapiro are complete brainlets, looking for someone smarter than them. Congratulations, you proved yourself a brainlet.

What exactly do you think abortion is if not the act of killing a human being? The unborn is a human organism in the state of development from the moment of conception so that makes it a human being regardless of whether or not you think that unborn human has rights or value. When you get an abortion you're killing the human being.

The only rational reason I can think of for a pro-choice person to deny this would be that they merely think it's bad optics or bad rhetoric. They don't want to say they support killing a human being because that's not likely to appeal to most people. They're the ones appealing to emotion through this manipulation of language that covers up reality.

And this is a problem? There are many instances where society agrees that the killing of human beings is acceptable (war, capital punishment, when ppl are in vegetative states). If the baby presents a problem to the parents, considering it’s unconscious state, there’s no reason to have moral apprehension in ending it. It wont know or care. There’s no real victim except a potentiality which is a solely metaphysical idea, pragmatically it doesn’t exist.

You didn't state facts, you made a bunch of value claims without any argument to support them. We don't value things because they're alive but because of their particular nature as rational animals so your analogy to plants is off the mark. If plants were rational animals we would recognize their right to life. It's the same deal with consciousness. When humans are temporarily unconscious they don't become temporarily inhuman, they still have their human nature regardless of their ability to think or feel.

Sure, in some cases the killing of a human being can be permissible, like in the case war or capital punishment when people through their actions forfeit their right to life.

Yes they do. When someone is brain dead, they are effectively irrational vegtables incapable of conscious experience. A fetus has the potential for conscious experience but currently lacks it. Meaning that objectively, in this moment in time, a fetus is not a conscious human being and to “kill” it is not the same as killing a conscious human. Your argument is based on metaphysical potentiality, not on current facts.

I. THE COLD KANT (on infanticide/abortion)
>In the first part (the "Doctrine of Right," the Rechtslehre) of his late, post-critical Metaphysics of Morals (1797), which part is devoted to the Law, Immanuel Kant tells us about a crime that is "deserving of death" with regard to which it still remains doubtful whether legislation is also authorized to impose the death penalty." This crime is "a mother's murder of her child."1 But Kant is not concerned with a Susan Smith, who drowned in an automobile submerged in a lake her properly, legally, conceived children. That it is "doubtful" that the law should be brought to bear against infanticide is reserved by Kant for a special case:

>"Legislation cannot remove the disgrace of an illegitimate birth. ... A child that comes into the world apart from marriage is born outside the law ... and therefore outside the protection of the law. It has, as it were, stolen into the commonwealth (like contraband merchandise), so that the commonwealth can ignore its existence (since it was not right that it should have come to exist this way), and can therefore also ignore its annihilation."

Someone who is temporarily unconscious is just someone asleep, or concuss. A fetus is neither. It lacks the very biological mechanisms that make conscious experience possible. This is a fact and you can’t deny it by saying “hurr but it can be”. Currently its not.

Abortion isn’t murder. To say that you have to have very absolutist definition of what life is. You’d have to consider livestock murder as well. Frankly, even babies are barely alive. Humans dont even develop executive functions until about 7-12 months. Up to that point, babies are just machines accumulating data from stimulus that slowly organizes itself through statistical and categorical models of apprehension. Without social contact, most humans would be animalistic and have no more complex thoughts than monkeys. I’d have no issue putting a baby down with good reason. Human consciouness is an ill-defined notion that no one (sicentist nor philosophers) have been capable of establishing. The rejection of abortion is emotivist and not based on logic. Strict logic doesnt even allows us to determine continuous identity.

Yes it is. We just accept it now, maybe in the future we won't. Or still do.
The point is it's pointless to try to apply logic (?) to arbitrary morality. We murder livestock for our livelihood. It's O.K.

Yet whether or not a fetus is alive and whether abortion constitutes as murder are not clear facts and Shapiro willingly ignores the established scientific facts for the sake of his argument.

No, we don’t “just accept it” now, you nominalist. Our notions of what constiutes as alive has changed due to our scientific knowledge and we can, applying logic, easy stipulated that a fetus is not “alive” in the same manner that fully develop humans are. And this influences our morality. Conservative thinkers, as the name implies, are trying to conserve traditional notions of life (not based on contemporary science) and this is where their problem with abortion comes from.

Cognitive functions don’t depend on a conscious agent for them to occur. In the third trimester, fetuses already begin having more solid neural firing patterns. A baby can discriminate their mother’s language from other ones upon birth because of this and already have a sense of prosody even before coming out of he womb. However, this is all automatic. A definition of consciousness depends on a conscious agent capable of executive control or self-awareness, both of which fetuses lack. People are just organic machines. Our human sense of self is a development that occurs as a social function that derives from theory of mind and perhaps mirror neurons. Im unsure whether there are physical repercussions to late trimester abortions, but i think the reason late abortions are look at as immoral is because of what i said above, third trimester fetuses are capable of more develop neural firings which means that they already started to accumulate and organize data (such as linguistic data from mother’s speech).
