Capitol Hill Brief — Please Join Us!

  Perseverance is steadfastness in doing something despite its difficulty.  This is what Concerned Women for America’s Persistence Summer campaign is about — showing the tenacity, courage, and purposefulness to endure much for the sake of what is good and true. Hebrews 12:2 reminds us how to do this: “looking unto Jesus,” it says, “the […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Our Persistence Summer

  We at Concerned Women for America have declared the summer of 2017 as “Persistence Summer.” It is a time when we are recommitting our efforts to not grow weary in doing good.  Remembering our Lord’s promise in Galatians 6:9 that we will reap a good harvest in due season, if we don’t give up. […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Independence Day

  241 years ago, on July 4, 1776, after Congress voted for a complete separation from Great Britain, our Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence declaring these beautiful self-evident truths: “That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and […]

The Radical Normality of the Pro-Life View

The world is shocked by the European Court of Human Rights decision to remove 10-month-old Charlie Gard from life support against the wishes of his parents. After his doctors said there was nothing more they could do for him, Chris Gard and Connie Yates, Charlie’s parents, raised 1.6 million dollars to move Charlie from London […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Persistence Summer

  As you’ve probably noticed, the radical left is doing everything in its power to derail President Trump’s agenda to the detriment of our nation.  They’ve vouched to resist any and all of his conservative initiatives, not because of the merits of the efforts, but just because they do not like him. Well, as they […]

Capitol Hill Brief — The Bottom Line

  All week we’ve highlighted the shameful, unconstitutional religious test that Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont would like to use to ban all Christians from public service. To be clear, according to Bernie Sanders, if you believe in John 3:16, affirming that we must believe in Jesus Christ to be saved, you are a bigot […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Stand Against Bernie

  There’s no question Sen. Bernie Sanders acted unconstitutionally when he opposed Russell Vought to be the next deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget because of his Christian faith. He actually imposed a religious test for public service in direct violation of Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution.  He should be ashamed […]

Capitol Hill Brief — In America

  Sen. Bernie Sanders’ anti-Christian bigotry showed clearly at a recent nomination hearing. [Audio clip] Russell T. Vought: Senator, I’m a Christian … (interrupted by Sanders) [Audio clip] Sen. Bernie Sanders: I understand you are a Christian, but this country is made up of people who are not just … like I understand that Christianity […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Kindness in the Face of Hatred

  Russell Vought, President Trump’s nominee to the Office of Management and Budget, was shamefully attacked by Sen. Bernie Sanders as “Islamophobic” because of his Christian faith.  Here is a sample: [Audio clip] Russell T. Vought: As a Christian, I believe that all individuals are made in the image of God and are worthy of […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Unconstitutional Religious Test

  Article 6 of the Constitution says that “no religious test shall ever be” applied as a condition for public service in the U.S. But Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont applied just such a test as he opposed Russell Vought to be the next deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, because of […]

Comer, the most important religious liberty case of the term. In a 7 to 2 decision, the Court declared unconstitutional the state of Missouri’s discrimination of a learning center because of their religious beliefs.

Capitol Hill Brief — History of Community Health Centers

  The founding of Planned Parenthood vs. Community Health Centers couldn’t be more different. Planned Parenthood was founded under the philosophy that the only way to help the poor was to stop them from reproducing.  It’s this offensive attitude that lead to Planned Parenthood becoming the largest abortion provider in America. By contrast, Community Health […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Religion and Abortion

  I have some hard news.  Thirty-seven percent of women obtaining abortions identified as evangelical or Catholic. Though self-identification may be a poor form of measuring religious engagements, these findings show that women getting an abortion are willing to be thought of as religious, but are still willing to get an abortion. This is a […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Planned Parenthood Services

  What does Planned Parenthood actually do? Mammograms? Nope. What about prenatal care? Actually, only 8% of their clinics do that. They boast about GYN exams and STD testing, but those are available through the more than 11,000 community health centers in America. In fact Planned Parenthood only does about 1% of the nation’s pap […]

What a Trip to the Grocery Store Taught Me About Israel

I have been in Israel for less than a week and I have already learned so much! In the Holy Land, God and history permeate the atmosphere wherever you go. It’s Ramadan, the Muslim month-long religious observance, and tensions are noticeably high. At the Shabbat (Sabbath) meal my friend Anna and I were invited to, the […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Born on the Table

  Listen carefully to what this Planned Parenthood official says they do with an unborn child that is born as a result of a botched abortion: [Audio Clip] Florida State Rep. Jim Boyd: It’s just really hard for me to even ask you this question, because I’m almost in disbelief. If a baby is born […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Every Beating Heart

  I remember hearing the heartbeat of my own children for the first time. [Heartbeat audio] Did you know that we can detect a child’s heartbeat beginning at 21 days? And can be heard by monitor at 8-10 weeks!   At 7-12 weeks old, an unborn baby has brain waves and developing features like a nose, […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Marriage, Morality, and Sexuality

  Some of the most difficult subjects for us to engage in these days have to do with marriage, morality, and sexuality.  I know it’s not easy to stand for truth in hostile environments. I have the scars of many CNN interviews to prove it. But there’s much we can do to alleviate some of […]
