“For 50 years, the American people have been fed a disgusting lie that the best and reasonable solution to an unplanned pregnancy is to have an abortion, to get rid of the human life inside a mother’s womb and it will be as if it never happened,” stated Concerned Women for America CEO and President Penny Nance in her op-ed featured in The Daily Caller.

Concerned Women for America’s CEO and President, Penny Nance, joined NEWMAX’S John Bachman to discuss the NCAA rally in San Antonio, Texas.

Concerned Women for America responds to the election of Kevin McCarthy as the new Speaker of the House:
“We are excited a new Speaker of the House of Representatives has been elected who will advance conservative principles and policies that secure the liberties of every American and protect the rights of people of faith,” said Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America, the nation’s largest public policy women’s organization.
“Congratulations to Speaker Kevin McCarthy and to the patriots who worked hard to negotiate rules changes that will help Washington better represent the American people. We applaud those Members of Congress who negotiated in good faith and made sure our Democratic Republic is stronger than ever. We are excited for what lies ahead and look forward to working with Speaker McCarthy and all the Members in this new Congress.”

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear,
but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” II Timothy 1:7
Happy New Year! It appears Washington is off to a chaotic start. The votes the last two days in the House of Representatives to determine the next Speaker have left many confused and concerned about what will happen next. We understand this situation can be unsettling but want to assure you that we have been in many conversations with Members of Congress, Republican Leadership, and conservative leaders around the country about the Speaker situation and know that God is in control.
As an organization, we have not weighed into this fight because we know the factors involved on both sides. Negotiations are continuing behind the scenes as 20 patriots work to assure that the new Speaker will stand firm on the policies we support. By the same token, Kevin McCarthy is a pro-life leader who has been unwavering on this issue throughout his career, and in the last session of Congress he had a 97% voting record on the key issues scored by CWA.
Our encouragement for you today is first to pray. Pray that the Lord moves on the hearts of these men and women to do the right thing and move forward to represent the American people with courage and wisdom. Second, please do not be afraid. The media and the Left are spinning this as the most earth-shattering event and that Republicans are incapable of governing. None of this is true. In the big scheme of things, this is a short-term dustup. From our experience, the nation is better when we engage in pitched debate and contend for our principles.
Most Americans are more worried about their sick child, how they will pay their bills, and finishing that project at work. The problem with Washington is that we think the whole world revolves around politics, which is simply not the case.
Regardless of what happens in the next days, CWA will be working hard on the policies that matter to American women and their families. We are working on your behalf.

Child Safety Advocates Call on South Dakota Gov. Noem
to Investigate State-Funded Health Activities that Promote Gender Transition

Washington, D.C. – Today, a coalition of national policy leaders and child safety advocates sent a letter to South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem calling on her to investigate state taxpayer-funded health and education grants, contracts, and activities that promote gender identity and transition. Gov. Noem recently canceled the state’s contract with “The Transformation Project” after learning of the upcoming January 13 “3rd Annual Midwest Gender Identity Summit” in Sioux Falls. One of the largest healthcare providers in the country, Sanford Health, is sponsoring this summit.
Signed by national leaders, including Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America, the country’s largest public policy women’s organization, the letter expresses grave concern over the agenda of the summit promoting transgender ideology and harming children and the practices of health organizations like Sanford Health who are harming children with medical procedures that mutilate their bodies.
“The citizens of South Dakota deserve to have their children protected from this summit’s destructive ideology,” reads the letter. “When a once-trusted health system like Sanford Health aids and abets this deceptive and anti-child ideology, it has failed in its mission.
“Children struggling with gender confusion should be protected from unethical medical interventions that ignore underlying causes and reject long-term health and well-being. Puberty blocking drugs that carry severe FDA warnings, cross-sex hormones that sterilize, and damaging surgeries that result in serious comorbidities and regret should not be peddled by Sanford Health.”
The letter commends Gov. Noem for directing her Department of Health to end its contract with the “The Transformation Project” but asks her to investigate further into healthcare companies’ practices in providing “transition” services.
“We call on you to take action as Governor of South Dakota and set an example to others to stop this pernicious trend deceiving our youth today,” the letter reads. “Telling kids they may be born in the wrong body is a self-destructive prophecy that is inflicting countless wounds on youth today. The corporate interests tied up in this increasingly lucrative industry are preying on America’s youth. Sanford Health will be among these predators if this event goes forward.”

NCAA’s New President Must Rescue Women’s Sports
Appointment of Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker gives female athletes hope
Washington, D.C. – Today, Concerned Women for America (CWA) applauded the appointment of outgoing Governor of Massachusetts, Charlie Baker, to head the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) as a hopeful sign that new policies for protecting female athletes may be possible.
“Charlie Baker’s appointment could be a desperately needed reset in the NCAA for female athletes, and we hope he stands up to lead,” said Penny Nance, CEO and President of CWA, the nation’s largest public policy women’s organization. “As the spouse of a former college athlete and someone devoted to children’s wellbeing, we expect Gov. Baker to understand that female athletes should never be subject to harassment, intimidation, and discrimination as they are experiencing in today’s NCAA.
“Outgoing NCAA President Mark Emmert has overseen a decade of degradation of college women’s sports, treating females as second class athletes and an outright denial of our status as women by allowing males like Lia Thomas to compete in women’s sports. Forcing female athletes to stand down so men can steal their scholarships and their trophies, invade their locker rooms and their events has been the ultimate act of discrimination against women.
“We call on Baylor President Linda Livingstone, chair of the NCAA Board of Governors, and Gov. Baker to end the exclusion of female athletes in their own sports and cease denying their rights to equity and fairness in sport. Title IX was meant to level the playing field, but allowing men to compete in female sports strikes a blow to that equity.”
Concerned Women for America has been at the forefront of challenging universities violating female athletes’ Title IX protections against sex discrimination. CWA has filed three civil rights complaints on behalf of college women athletes and will not stop fighting for their rights.

Penny Nance statement on American Girl’s book pushing puberty blockers:
“Shame on American Girl for teaching girls as young as three years old to hate their bodies. What happened to teaching girls that they are beautiful just the way they are?” asked Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America, the nation’s largest public policy women’s organization. “Advocating that young girls consider altering their bodies through puberty blockers or surgery exploits vulnerable and impressionable children. In the same way that it would be dangerous to tell a young, underweight girl struggling with an eating disorder to consider gastric bypass surgery, why are we encouraging a young girl struggling with her female identity to mutilate her body? There used to be a time when parents trusted corporations like a doll company to send positive messages to their daughters, but unfortunately those days are gone. Parents need to stop buying goods from woke corporations pushing this dangerous and manipulative agenda on their children.”
