America is Rejecting Sex-Rejecting Procedures
An abusive strain of pseudoscience (so-called “gender-affirming care”) is coming to a steady end—lawsuits, science, and testimonies from detransitioners ring clear that sex-rejecting procedures, cross-sex hormones, and puberty blockers are nothing less than ideology-driven child mutilation. The first domino fell with the stroke of President Trump’s pen in January 2025. Just days after swearing in […]
No, Requiring Voter ID is Not Sexist
There are two similar bills causing the controversy du jour on Capitol Hill – the SAVE Act and the SAVE America Act. Both would better protect the integrity of elections in the U.S. by ensuring voter ID and requiring proof of citizenship. But opponents are arguing that, among other claims, these bills are sexist and […]
Markup Recap: The Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act
On February 3, 2026, the House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary hosted a markup for H.R. 1028, the Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act. The bill, championed by Rep.

Congress Passed School Choice; Now It’s Up to the States to Implement It
For many families, finances are the primary obstacle to escaping the public school system. Private schools are expensive; homeschooling usually requires one parent to stay at home part or full-time. Even extracurricular activities or tutoring require some kind of sacrifice. The result is that the number of families who desire school choice far outstrip those […]
Senate Hearing on Chemical Abortion Turns Into Basic Biology Lesson
It is impossible to care about women and their health if you cannot define what a woman is.

As the pro-life witnesses shared the threats that the unregulated chemical abortion pill poses to women’s […]
What’s in Store for Congress in 2026
Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) celebrated huge wins that came out of Congress in 2025.

No, feminism isn’t fixed by repealing the 19th Amendment
Recent nationwide gubernatorial and mayoral elections were a resounding success for Democrats (and one very notable Socialist). Exit polling reveals a concerning statistic: young women overwhelmingly voted blue —“Hot Girls for Mamdani,” anyone? Here are the numbers: In New York City, 81% of women aged 18-29 voted for Mayor-elect Mamdani; in Virginia, 78% voted for […]
HHS Ends Taxpayer Funding of Sex-Rejecting Procedures
For far too long, the American medical industry has been captured by an ideology that says sex is interchangeable, that the temporary whims of a child should be affirmed by permanent surgical mutilation. But at last, the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) announced that they are pulling the plug on these barbaric practices. For […]

Congress Bans Dangerous Hemp-Based Products
While America cheered that Congress finally funded the government, the funding bill included a less celebrated but far more significant victory – a ban on dangerous intoxicating hemp products.

Department of Education Begins Its “Final Mission”
When Linda McMahon was named Secretary of Education, her stated purpose was to work herself out of a job by shutting down the Department of Education (ED). The White House announced this week that she might be on the verge of doing just that. For decades, Concerned Women for America (CWA) has looked forward to […]
Schumer Shutdown Comes to an End
After over 43 days and 15 votes on the House-passed funding bill, the longest government shutdown in American history is finally over.

Senate Hearing Highlights Urgent Problem of Left-Wing Political Violence
“It’s a both sides problem, and both sides need to tone down the rhetoric.” That’s the mantra we have heard repeatedly after each violent political attack over the last 15 months. And yet, it seems as if a disproportionate number of these attacks are inspired by left-wing political rhetoric. Without acknowledging the source of this […]
Transgender Violence: What is driving this trend?
In August, trans-identifying male Robert “Robin” Westman sprayed bullets through stained glass, killing two children and injuring 14 at Annunciation Catholic School. In 2023, trans-identifying female Audrey “Aiden” Hale shot and killed six schoolchildren in Nashville, and in 2019, trans-identifying female Maya “Alec” McKinney shot indiscriminately into a Denver classroom, killing one student. These massacres […]
Report: Understanding Physician-Assisted Suicide in the United States
In September 2025, Lifeway Research found that over half of Americans (55 percent) agree that “physicians should be allowed to assist terminally ill patients in ending their life.” The figure should be zero percent. Physician-assisted suicide is an affront to the sanctity of human life, a sure-fire trap door into a dangerous slippery slope for […]
Shutdown Update: The RIFs Have Begun
It’s now day 21 of the Schumer shutdown with no sign of the two sides reaching an agreement.

The Shutdown Continues
At midnight on October 1, the government shut down for the first time in seven years. As Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) reported last week, the disagreement lies in the Republicans’ desire to keep funding levels as they are for the time being (which is high already), whereas Democrats want to increase […]
CWA / YWA at the Texas Youth Summit
The future of America rests in the hearts and minds of the next generation.
