Memorial Day: Were it Not for America

This morning I attended the small town funeral of a World War II veteran.  He served in the Air Force B-24 Bomber Squadron, 8th Air Force, England.  Watching the presentation of the flag to his widow, a British war bride (they were married 66 years), I was deeply touched once again by what these brave […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Israel and the Promised Land

  In 2013, I made my first visit to Israel where I was forever changed.  I dare say no one can walk into Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust museum, and not be marked forever.  Even more than the Holocaust museum in Washington, it is a reminder of our responsibility in world affairs. It is also a […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Deeper on Life

On the issue of life, we deal with unwanted pregnancies, fetal development, abortion procedures and risks, Roe v. Wade, taxpayer funding of abortion, legislative battles […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Women and Sharia Law

  Here is a blunt discussion you’ll find in my book, Feisty & Feminine: A Rallying Cry for Conservative Women, that you’ll likely not hear from your modern-day feminist. The status of women in Islamic society is horrifying.  The abuse of women, really, around the world is heartbreaking. But for all their fight for women’s […]

To the Women Who Trusted Planned Parenthood

As I was driving into D.C. today, I was struck by how many “Help After Abortion” stickers I saw. Don’t get me wrong; it’s fantastic to get the word out about a post-abortion service through a bumper sticker, but I started to think about the pro-life movement’s relationship with the women to whom these bumper […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Inside the Book

  Here are some of the topics I deal with in my book, Feisty & Feminine: A Rallying Cry for Conservative Women: The Devaluation of Women Sexual Assault and Politics Marriage and Tolerance Abortion and the Sanctity of Human Life The Real War Against Women The Rise of Islamic Extremism And Why Israel Matters Now […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Time to Stand Up

  Leaders, prayer warriors, conservative women of all walks of life, it’s time for us to stand up and be heard.  That’s why I wrote, Feisty & Feminine: A Rallying Cry for Conservative Women. I want to encourage you to find your voice and join the millions of women who, like you, want to honor […]

Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America, has joined her voice with those of other Christian leaders in calling on President Trump to “uphold American law by moving the U.S. Embassy to Israel’s eternal and indivisible capital city of Jerusalem.” In a letter dated May 16, 2017, Mrs. Nance and others remind […]

Capitol Hill Brief — The Trickle-Down Effect

    The consequences of the overwhelming leftist ideology being pushed at our public universities are numerous. The trickle-down effect to lower educational institutions is a very troublesome one. You might have seen a recent viral video of assistant principal Zach Ruff at the prestigious Downingtown STEM Academy in Pennsylvania shouting down two teens who […]

Statement of Penny Nance Regarding Kellyanne Conway

Statement from Penny Nance, president and CEO of Concerned Women for America, the nation’s largest public policy women’s organization: “I have known Kellyanne Fitzpatrick Conway for over twenty years.  She is woman of great integrity and spotless character.  I watched her build, from scratch, a highly successful business despite turning away clients who didn’t share […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Anti-Israel Efforts

  Do you know that a considerable share of the silencing efforts on college campuses have targeted Israelis and other supporters of Israel? Michael Oren, a distinguished historian who was famously shut down at University of California at Irvine.  Moshe Halbertal, the world-renowned Israeli philosopher, was disrupted at the University of Minnesota. Israeli-Arab Bassem Eid […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Attacks on Religious Speech

  We’ve been discussing the attacks on free speech in college campuses this week, but I want you to be aware that the attacks on religious speech are also on the rise. At Northern Arizona University, a student was recently accosted by a professor and faculty for his Christian conservative views. He was even chastised […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Join YWA in Prayer

  You’ve probably heard of the shameful silencing of conservative voices in college campuses. Recent events include the violent shout down of author and scholar Charles Murray at Middlebury College, UC-Berkeley’s mistreatment of Anne Coulter (which is now the subject of a Free Speech lawsuit) and many more, like, Ben Shapiro and David Horowitz have […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Campus Free Speech

    What is happening in America’s college campuses should be troubling for all of us.  Not only is a radical liberal philosophy overwhelmingly predominant at most state universities, but now they’re trying to silence the few conservative voices that are invited to speak. Before conservative speakers can even address students at these schools, radical […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Happy Mother’s Day

  As we get ready to celebrate Mother’s Day this coming Sunday, I want to invite you to join Concerned Women for America in prayer for a change of heart for our country — a shift away from the sin of abortion and towards a day when every life is embraced with joy, as a […]

Capitol Hill Brief — ObamaCare Gone

  “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan,” they told us. But ObamaCare took health care out of the hands of patients and doctors and put it into the hands of Washington bureaucrats. Millions of Americans suddenly found themselves with cancelled plans and ever-increasing premiums. Not to mention the fact that it […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Support the New Health Care Bill

  There’s a new President in town, and the atmosphere in Washington is tense. Especially as it relates to the debate to repeal and replace ObamaCare. President Trump is doing everything within his power to deliver on his big campaign promise of a full repeal of ObamaCare. The Democrats, for their part, are doing everything […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Planned Parenthood Unfit for Federal Dollars

  Planned Parenthood should not receive federal dollars. First, it is the largest abortion provider in the country, performing over 300,000 abortions per year. But aside from that, fifty-one known audits of their affiliates’ billing procedures have shown almost $8.5 million in fraudulent Medicaid overpayments. These federal audits have detailed Planned Parenthood’s misuse of Medicaid […]

Capitol Hill Brief — New Health Care Bill Protects Life

  Friends, the day has arrived! We are at the cusp of defunding Planned Parenthood and repealing big parts of ObamaCare, creating an environment for quality patient care for all Americans. The health care bill going through congress right now is not perfect, but it is a dramatic improvement on the ObamaCare disaster. And I […]
