In a hilarious self-own, a conservative pundit speaking at a pro-life rally took all the attention off their actual arguments and put it all on… Baby Hitler.
Ben Shapiro tries so darn hard not to be confused with the alt-right, who hate him because he’s against Donald Trump (and, you know, because he’s Jewish — they’re neo-Nazis after all).

“The truth is that no pro-life person on Earth would kill baby Hitler. Baby Hitler wasn’t Hitler. Adult Hitler was Hitler. Baby Hitler was a baby.”
He suggested kidnapping Baby Hitler and giving him to different parents instead.
LOLz, OK obviously he’s making a reasonable argument many make as to why they would not, given the chance, kill Baby Hitler.

We’d also note this was a strange way to spend his time in front of a pro-life crowd, and more than a little presumptuous we think to lump them all together as being on his side.
We suspect many pro-lifers would be glad to go the route of taking one life to save millions in the famous thought experiment. Jeb Bush famously weighed in during the 2016 election:
