CWA Disappointed in POTUS Delay in Moving Israeli Embassy

Washington, D.C. – Today, President Trump signed a six-month waiver instead of honoring the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 which required the U.S. Embassy to be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America, said today: “CWA’s members are very disappointed that the president chose to sign […]

Urgent! The Texas Privacy Act Needs Both Your Prayers and Action Immediately!

Though the Texas 2017 legislative session has just ended, the Texas Privacy Act, Senate Bill 6, still needs your help. SB 6 was passed in the Senate but was not even allowed a hearing in the Texas House. It is unacceptable that Texans weren’t allowed to have their voices heard through their elected representatives who […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Denial of Basic Services

  The state of Missouri in the Trinity Lutheran religious liberty Supreme Court case went so far as to suggest that even basic health and safety benefits (like police and fire protection) may be denied to religious groups solely based on their religious convictions. [Audio Clip] Attorney James Layton: Even physical changes — even if […]

Statement of Penny Nance Regarding Planned Parenthood’s 2016 Annual Report

Yesterday, Planned Parenthood released their 2015-2016 annual report — six months later than usual.

Capitol Hill Brief — No Constitutional Violation

  The government in the Trinity Lutheran religious liberty Supreme Court case tried to have it both ways.  They assured the Court there was no establishment clause violation with their program, but then argued they excluded the school in this case to avoid an apparently non-existent violation.  Here’s Chief Justice Roberts and the attorney for […]

If I Were Kathy’s Friend

If I were Kathy Griffin’s friend, I’d want to be by her side now. It must be tough. Most people by now have seen the horrible picture and video. It was bad. Really, bad. She has apologized. But it won’t be easy. I hope she has some good friends by her side at this moment. […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Does the Constitution Allow That?

  The Trinity Lutheran v. Comer religious liberty case at the Supreme Court exposes the pernicious way some government officials have institutionalized hostility towards religious people under the guise of constitutional requirement.  The state of Missouri tried to avoid the consequences of its arguments, but even the liberal members of the Court pressed on the […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Police & Fire Protection

  I recently told you about a rally we had at the Supreme Court for an important religious liberty case, Trinity Lutheran v. Comer.  This was the case where the government discriminated against a school just based on their religion. We stood for religious freedom on the steps outside the court, but inside the court, […]

By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. — 1 John 3:16   All gave some… Some gave all. Join CWA as we remember those who have died defending our country and our freedoms. Let us pause to […]

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 […]

With less than a week to go in the state legislative session, it is important to contact your Illinois lawmakers on pending legislation NOW!  These bills could be voted on any day.  Your legislator needs to know where you stand on these issues.  Surprisingly, several conservative lawmakers are on the fence about what would seem […]

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 […]

Under President Trump, the U.S. Returns to Honoring Life Globally

One of the things President Donald Trump should be most proud of from his short time in the White House is his decision to move the U.S. away from the hideous business of promoting abortion-on-demand around the world. On Jan. 23, 2017, just three days after his swearing-in ceremony, President Trump reinstated what has been […]

How long, O Lord?

Most times I am outraged, really incensed, at the evil that is abortion.  I get angry at the debasement of the very image of God.  The way outside forces prey on vulnerable women for their personal and corporate profit. Sometimes a sense of the reality of the sin we are committing as a nation weighs […]

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 […]
