Daly Focus Blog
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to contribute an essay to The Hill concerning the obvious hypocrisy unfolding in Washington concerning the current budget stalemate.
In short, I asked why liberals have no problem spending taxpayer money to protect children at the border, but are refusing to do anything to protect them inside the womb.
Please take a moment to read the full piece here – and let me know what you think in the comments section below.

I listen to and enjoy your show at least a couple of days a week. I am disappointed in how you handled this article. You make no bones about your position on abortion. That is fine. You should not attack "Liberals" who don't agree with you on the definition of Life. Especially - when they are doing God's will. This article is the opposite of what I find on your radio show. That is why I listen.

2018 saw the highest number abortions in the world since records have been kept. 45 million in one year. Abortion is the highest killer of the human race. If it were a pandemic virus. The bodies would fill football fields.Abortion is the Procreation of Genocide. No where in History has the destruction of the Human Race been so prevalent. It is a culture of death worldwide. many examples: 80,000 people died of Flu related illnesses in 2018.in the USA.Seldom a public outcry..68,000 died of Drug Use.now a community outcry..about the opioid addictions..Children are dieing all the time .The children at the border of Mexico & USA is a political ploy to be against anything President Trump is headlining.The Main thing President Trump is surrporting ISREAL..!!!. ♥️♥️
Genesis 12 : verses 1 , 2 & 3. As the world once again gets more antisemitic .The Ten commandments slowly being erased from society...The removal of Jesus in Schools....And somehow societys & cultures around the World forget that satan has a plan to take people to Hell.. repent of sin read Romans 10: verses 9 - 13... While there is still precious life within us.

"Whataboutism" is a defense technique, a way to change the subject away from the subject at hand. Mr Daly, you have now DEFENDED the border policy plan that oppresses/harms children, by trying to change the subject, to undercut efforts to change the policy. No amount of equivacating about how "terrible" the situation is will change that you defended it.
Additionally, you have dodged at every turn condemning the author of that policy, while handing out condemnations of pro-abortion policy authors like raffle tickets at a fair. You can't have it both ways and expect your opinion to still be respected.

It seems to me that all this definition conversation is skirting the point. The point is this country is murdering unborn babies that GOD has created. That is the topic Focus on the Family was addressing. I frequent the border and see the truth. If you really want to see the truth of the matter go to the border and talk to the people who live there and send their children across when they feel like to go to the schools to get free food yet they do not go to school in their country. I know personally a teacher in Progresso Mexico and he tells it like it is...basically the people send their children over when they need something and the children come back after they get it. Even children tell me this. Secondly, many of the children wander the streets of Progresso selling things or begging for money instead of going to school. I do not give them money. I ask them if I can buy them food because the parents take the money. American Christian or not need to find out the facts and stop being fools. Hosea 4:6 says My people parish for lack of knowledge. GOD was talking to the Israelites, but it is a very thoughtful statement. It seems many people want to argue points without first hand knowledge. Maybe someone needs to ask...why do we make laws and do not expect to have the people obey or we don't enforce them. If we let illegal people cross the border and they teach their children to do the same then when a criminal or terrorist wants to come illegally we cannot substantiate saying no to them. I sincerely pray that everyone on this blog will search out why they are arguing about what Focus on the Family's motive is. They were addressing one topic not multiple topics. So consider why you are derailing their purpose.

Why should it be either or. Both the unborn and the children of the poor and disenfranchised (Mexicans) are literally our neighbors?
The billions of dollars requested for a wall could be better used to heal wounds (both physically and spiritually) of these strangers. Oh the long term damage done to those babies, toddlers and young children separated from their parents, guardian or even those they knew while traveling to this strange, new land (not even knowing the language here). How would any of our children fare under similar circumstances? God forbid. There must be concern for the Word of God in His directive for the poor and little children. Didn't Jesus break down walls built by religious leaders? This is neither a Republican nor Democratic, Right or Left opinion but a Right or wrong thought. Jesus is soon to come. Time is running out. Will those so mistreating the defenseless hear "Well Done" or "Depart from Me, ye worker of iniquity "? Harden not your heart!

While I am conservative and agree border needs to be addressed, I would say it is equally breath taking at how silent Focus on the Family was with the public separation of children, and even losing them, especially given the willingness of some churches and groups to say "this is wrong." Instead, this article makes clear that you have become about appeasing Man and a Party first. Children have value outside the womb as well.

First, I agree that abortion is horrific, and mistreatment of young innocent children outside the womb is also horrific.
The answer to your question is really simple--one category of child victim is inside the womb and the other is outside. The perspective that the child living inside the womb is less valuable than the one living outside is sad, but this view is not exclusive to those you define as liberals. Your use of the label Liberal doesn't help, illuminate, or persuade. If you are trying to point out that liberal logic contains discrepancies, inconsistencies, paradoxes, and hypocrisy, as if they are the only labeled group guilty of such, you should spend more time in front of the mirror, or in the Word. Finally, I disagree that Nancy Pelosi will be Speaker when Roe is overturned. This will most likely be her last stint as Speaker and it is unlikely that Roe will be overturned within these two years. There are simply too many Christians and non-believers who are not vehemently opposed to abortion on demand. Abortion is a third rail topic for the Christian church- and this is the real sadness or paradox. The Church and its Family should be the essence of your concern and commentary. To cast some stones at those you call liberals is just plain wrong. If the Christian Church can't commit or agree to abolishing on demand abortion, how will the secular Supreme Court? |
