Well, hello there.

We're going to talk about abortion and sex in Hollywood and lots of things having to do with

Trump and dead soldiers and all sorts of stupid things also.

I'm Ben Shapiro.

This is the Ben Shapiro show.

A little behind the scenes there.

Every time we open this show, I have to look to a different camera and I am very awkward at it. So if you can't see the show, that's what you're missing out on, folks. Okay, so before we get to any of these things, so somebody on the left this morning on Twitter presented the greatest pro-abortion argument of all time. And then I refuted it, and then he blocked me. So explain to you why this, in fact, the greatest pro-abortion argument of all time and why it is that people think it was. We will also talk a little bit more about the Me Too hashtag that is going around, all these women posting on social media about how they've been sexually harassed in the past, which is fine and dandy. But I do have a couple of questions that I think need to be answered if we're going to actually do something practical with all that information. Plus, President Trump goes after President Obama for not caring about dead troops or something, which is just awesome. We'll get to all of that, but first, I want to say thank you to our sponsors over at Legacy Box. So, if you are a person who wants to preserve your memories,

you want to preserve your childhood memories, you want to make sure that all those boxes of old films that are moldering out in the garage, those don't go to waste, you want to make sure that your parents have access to those things. This is why you need Legacy Box. We all have these things sitting in the garage, and then we don't care about them for years. We let them gather dust and there are spiders and it's gross.

And then there's a fire and we run out them for years. We let them gather dust and there's spiders and it's gross.

And then there's a fire and we run out there and we grab the box that is covered in dust mites and we bring it outside to the car and turns out we don't have enough room and the pictures are waterlogged. Don't be that person. That's why you need Legacy Box. Legacy Box is a simple, affordable way to get your recorded moments digitally preserved on DVD or thumb drive.

Okay, so we begin today with an argument that was going around Twitter this morning. I woke up, and there is a tweet storm that was going around. It has now been liked almost 19,000 times and retweeted 9,000 times.

It's a big tweet, right? Especially from a guy who no one's ever heard of. This guy's name is Patrick Tomlinson. I would tell you how many followers he has, except that he blocked me. So Patrick Tomlinson is apparently the author of something called the Ark Trilogy. He's a sci-fi author. Calls himself a comic. I'm going to read you his nasty little...

His nasty little tweet storm, and then I'm going to explain why it is so appealing on the surface to pro-choicers, and then I'm going to explain why it makes no sense. So here is his argument in favor of abortion, and it just drips with condescension and disdain. Anyone who disagrees with him as a fool and a liar.

I'm so sick of that attitude. I really am. If I haven't made that clear with regard to Jimmy Kimmel, I'm going to make it clear now with regard to Patrick Tomlinson. Here's what he tweeted. Whenever abortion comes up, I have a question I've been asking for 10 years now, the life begins at conception crowd. In 10 years, no one has ever answered it honestly.

Ooh, then he says, it's a simple scenario with two outcomes. Wow, I mean, just the brilliance this guy must carry in his head. It's just mind-boggling. So no one ever wants to pick one because the correct answer destroys their argument. There is a correct answer, which is why the pro-life crowd hates the question. Here it is. Are you ready? So good. You're in a fertility clinic. Why isn't important? The fire alarm goes off. You run for the exit. As you run down the hallway, you hear a child screaming from behind a door. You throw open the door and find a five-year-old child crying for help. Exciting, no? They're in one corner of the room. In the other corner, there, by the way, spelled T-H-E-Y, apostrophe, R-E. The genius writer knows. There in one corner of the room. In the other corner, you spot a frozen container labeled 1,000 viable human embryos. The smoke is rising. You start to choke. You know you can grab one or the other, but not both, before you succumb to smoke inhalation and die, saving no one.

Dun, dun, dun, dun. Do you, A, save the child, or B, save the thousand embryos? There is no C.
