Pro-life “never-Trumpers” must face up to the fact that they
voted for the ramped-up abortion agenda they will witness under Joe
Biden’s administration, says the president of Focus on the Family,
Jim Daly.
In
an opinion piece for his organization’s Daily Citizen
publication, he noted that “elections have consequences.”
For social conservatives who opposed President Trump’s
reelection because his personality or his tweets offended them,
among the consequences are more deaths of unborn children, he
said.
“President-elect Biden is doing what he signaled during the
campaign he would do,” Daly wrote Dec. 17. “That is, to support
abortion no matter the viability of the baby in the womb.”
The responsibility, he acknowledged, rests mostly on Biden, but
“some also extends to every so-called pro-life ‘Never Trumper’
(some of whom are my friends) who voted for Mr. Biden on November
3.”
“This is what you voted for,” he wrote.
Daly emphasized Biden’s nomination of virulently pro-abortion
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra as his secretary of
Health and Human Services.
Becerra, he said, is “an ideological lawyer with a lengthy
record of hostilities towards the pro-life movement” who has no
medical training or professional health credentials.
Becerra has “been a strong advocate for taxpayer-funded
abortions, supported sex-selective abortions, and voted in favor of
partial-birth abortion and against legislation criminalizing
hurting a preborn baby while in the act of committing a crime.”
Daly said he hopes “public outcry” will derail Becerra’s
nomination.
But he pointed out Biden is only trying to fulfill his promise
to make Roe v. Wade “the law of the land.”
Daly argued that Trump, “from a policy perspective, easily been
the most pro-life president of my lifetime.”
“From reinstating the Mexico City policy banning taxpayer-funded
abortions overseas to appointing pro-life judges, permitting states
to defund Planned Parenthood of Title X family planning funds and
being the first president to speak in person at the March for Life,
to name a few highlights, his stalwart support for the most
innocent has been peerless,” Daly wrote.
He acknowledged the president’s “sharp elbows” offended
some.
But for social conservatives, “his policies were for the people,
especially the most vulnerable – the pre-born.”
And he said there’s little doubt that pro-lifers who didn’t vote
for Trump cost the president “key votes he could not afford to
lose.”
PJ Media’s Mark Tapscott noted Becerra, both as California
attorney general and a Democratic congressman, has been an
outspoken advocate of abortion-on-demand “right up until, and
sometimes after, a baby is delivered.”
“Assuming he is confirmed by the Senate to head HHS, Becerra
will be in a position to steer hundreds of millions of tax dollars
to the abortion mill giant Planned Parenthood and its allies, as
well as to implement regulatory policies that ensure during the
next four years millions more unborn babies will be killed in their
mothers’ wombs,” he wrote. “How many of those babies would have
otherwise survived had Trump remained in office may never be
known.”
In an interview, Daly told PJ Media: “I’m from California, I
know Becerra. His track record is not good toward human life, but
it doesn’t shock me that President-elect Biden would select that
kind of person. But for those who voted for Biden, that’s what
you’re going to get, and for Republicans, and Christians who
voted for Biden, this is on your hands. To be sober, I just want
them to realize that.”
The Daily Signal recently reported that among Becerra’s
priorities are forcing faith-based groups to promote abortion,
prosecuting activists who exposed Planned Parenthood’s sale of baby
body parts, universal health health care, suing President Trump
over abortion funding and protecting illegal immigration.
