Join CWA at the Supreme Court this Coming Tuesday

This coming Tuesday, March 20, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a very important pro-life, free speech case: National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra.  And Concerned Women for America (CWA) will be in front of the Supreme Court to rally for freedom and for life. This is the case I’ve written […]

Not Your Grandfather’s Pornography: the Problem, the Harm, and a Policy Response

As the country wrestles with the widespread problem of sexual assault (as embodied in the recent “#MeToo” phenomena) and how to respond to it, we must consider the multiple factors that lie at the root of the issue. The rapid spread of online pornography, with its decisive sexual objectification of women, is one area that […]

Another Win for Religious Liberty

A nomination for deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is usually not a controversial thing. But, as I have told you before, when Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) decided it was appropriate to impose a religious test on the nomination of Russel Vought for this position, his nomination became a top priority […]

Phony Liberal Outrage on Full Display

Liberals are in disarray. They are only united in their hatred of Trump, but little else. And it is showing regularly in Congress these days. Just a few days ago, after President Trump presented a consensus budget deal, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-California) broke into a tantrum on the House floor, staging a record-breaking, […]

Pray for our Press

The mainstream media suicide continues. It is incredibly sad to watch. It is extremely troubling, especially when you think about the role and purpose it is supposed to serve. This weekend’s coverage of North Korea by many outlets was simply disgraceful. It is now a proven, tangible, quantifiable, irrefutable fact that you cannot trust the […]

You’ve Gotta Love Gerber

No, I’m not a paid spokesperson for Gerber. However, in case you haven’t heard, Gerber chose one-year-old Lucas Warren from Dalton, Georgia, as its 2018 Gerber baby.  What’s so special about that? Lucas is the first child with Down syndrome to be chosen. Well done, Gerber! Whether they know it or not, Gerber is showing […]

How Did Your Senator Vote on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act?

As you are probably aware, S. 2311, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, failed to overcome a filibuster in the U.S. Senate last week. The vote was 51-46. Sixty votes were needed to overcome the filibuster. This simple, straightforward bill would prohibit abortions after 20 weeks past conception when science suggests babies start to feel […]

President Trump Allows Americans to Shine Among Ugly Democrat Partisanship

President Donald Trump was masterful last night in his State of the Union Address. He was humble. He stood to the side, so to speak, even as he was emphatic about his first-year accomplishments and allowed Americans to shine. The stories he presented, the people he highlighted, the families he honored were the story of […]

A Better Approach to the State of the Union

It has been remarkable to see the level of disdain aimed at President Trump. It is not normal. It seems unwarranted — even unjust. Disagreement with his policies, or the way he expressed himself at one point or another, or the way he conducted himself in any situation I can understand. But this foaming at the […]

Nassar Case Demonstrates Harms of Pornography

The pornography cancer that continues to consume our nation reared its ugly head again as the sentencing hearing of Larry Nassar concluded this week. The former USA Gymnastics doctor was sentenced to up to 175 years in prison by Judge Rosemarie Aquilina, who told him, “I’ve just signed your death warrant.” Nassar abused more than 150 […]

Why I (a Man) March for Life

Banal minds find it hard to grasp why I serve as legal counsel for Concerned Women for America (CWA). For all their boasting about acceptance, inclusion, and equality, many liberal elites especially have a hard time seeing a man working for a women’s organization. Well I do, proudly. Deal with it.

For America (Day 90)

Praise, glory, and honor be unto You, Jehovah Jireh! Speak to us, as You spoke at Mt. Sinai. May our songs, declaring the goodness of Your works, Be heard in all the earth, now and forever more.   We worship through obedience, oh God; Help us in our weaknesses. We strive to live, as our […]

Good Work on Judges Must Continue in 2018

The work on the confirmation of constitutional judges was by far the best news of 2017. Not only did we confirm an exemplary candidate in Justice Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court, but President Donald Trump also set the record for federal appellate court appointments in the first year of a presidency with 12. […]

The Secret to MLK Jr.’s Hope

It was a hope that captivated a nation. Still does. In classrooms all over America, the words of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s, speech, “I Have a Dream,” still helps weave the dreams of many young minds. We all know (or should know) them by heart: I say to you today, my friends, so even though […]

Mississippi Conscience Protections Stand

This week, the United States Supreme Court declined to hear two cases (Barber v. Bryant and Campaign for Southern Equality v. Bryant ) challenging Mississippi’s “Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act” (HB 1523). The development leaves in place a decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit that dismissed challenges by […]

Back to Reality in 2018

Strong sentiments about 2017 overwhelmed my social media feeds over the break. As with Dickens’ tale, it seems “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times …” If I had to summarize the overall sentiment, I would say 2017 was disorientating for many. It was the year of the unexpected – […]

For America—Day 88 (A Prayer for the New Year)

Sovereign Lord, There will be a new year Only if You allow it In Your mercy and goodness towards all. Glory to Your Name; For Your ways are perfect. Your wisdom beyond comparison, You are the Truth for which we thirst. Quench our thirst with Your presence among us. Do not leave us to our […]

Oh Lord, Our God, Your Majestic Holiness Fills us with joy Throughout the Christmas season. Your wondrous works displayed On that day in Bethlehem Keep our hearts and minds engaged still today, Amazed at the extent of Your Love. The sounds of that “Silent Night,” Are forever on our lips. Let the people hear us […]

Christmas Celebrates the Unborn; We Should, Too

“In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary.” So begins the story of Gabriel’s visit to Mary in the Gospel of Luke. “Greetings, […]
