In Ben Shapiro's defense, that article was written 19 years ago, when he was a teenager. It was also written shortly after 9/11, when many Americans were still very angry hurt by the attacks. We weren't in our right minds (which George W. Bush seized upon).

‘Unspeakably Depraved Acts’: S.C. Man Who Live-Streamed Himself Sexually Assaulting a 22-Month-Old Toddler on Skype Gets Decades in Prison
A South Carolina man will spend the next three decades in prison after pleading guilty to live-streaming himself sexually assaulting a 22-month-old toddler on Skype.

David James Allison, a 33-year-old from Bluffton, assaulted the victim approximately five times between September 2019 and December 2019, authorities say.

“These were unspeakably depraved acts against a victim that epitomizes vulnerability,” Assistant Solicitor Julie Kate Keeney said in a statement.

Evil is killing a fully formed baby just weeks before birth. If you don't think that is evil then we're two very different people.

That's your opinion. I respect that, but there is something to be said about prioritizing a growing mass of cells, which is not yet conscious as it is in the case in most abortions, over the autonomy of a fully conscious woman's decision not to or to carry it to full term. Banning abortions because it is an affront to your sensibilities is no different than a theocracy imposing its will on the populace on religious/moral grounds. The real evil here is doing something arbitrary as unilaterally deciding the fetus has a "life therefore it has right to life" and then using circular reasoning to argue that it must be protected at the expense of the woman's right to privacy and autonomy as a real, conscious human being. None of this reasoning makes any sense and yet it's been used to ban abortion in a growing number of states. That is the real evil, my friend.
