Capitol Hill Brief — Gorsuch on Hobby Lobby
Supreme Court Nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch weighed in on the Hobby Lobby case as a member of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. He saw the case as a conflict between two laws — ObamaCare and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Gorsuch correctly decided Religious Freedom took precedence. Not because of personal preference, but […]
“Clothes Hanger” Abortions – The Worst Argument for Keeping Abortion Legal
One of the most often repeated talking points of the pro-choice left, and even your average apolitical American, is that abortion must be legal because, if illegal, women will need abortion so badly they will resort to clothes hangers to self-induce abortion. This argument is fundamentally flawed and makes a good deal of unfounded assumptions. […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Gorsuch and the Little Sisters of the Poor
Judge Neil Gorsuch has a proven track record of protecting one of Concerned Women for America’s core issues: Religious Freedom. For example, Judge Gorsuch defended the rights of the Little Sisters of the Poor, whose religious freedom was threatened under the Obama Administration’s Contraceptive Mandate. Gorsuch favored the nuns because, as he said, the […]
The Baby Part Business: The Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives Final Report
Concerned Women for America (CWA) has covered the undercover investigation and subsequent congressional investigation into the “fetal tissue procurement” of Planned Parenthood under the guise of “donating tissue” for medical research. To dispense with the flowery language — strong evidence suggests that Planned Parenthood sold baby parts for profit. At CWA, we summarized the original […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Honoring Scalia
We just observed the one-year anniversary of the passing Justice Antonin Scalia. As we consider the nomination of his replacement, Judge Neil Gorsuch, it’s incredibly comforting to hear of his admiration for the great constitutionalist that Scalia truly was. One of the most moving aspects of this nomination announcement was the recognition of the […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Presidents Day
Today, as we celebrate the birth of “The Father of our Country,” President George Washington, I can’t help but wonder what he’d think of America today. Would he be proud of what we’ve become, or would he be shocked by the violence and rhetoric being spewed by many over the election or any number of […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Supreme Riddle
Here’s a riddle: What is one of nine, rules over the most important aspects of our lives, and can have an impact for up to 30-plus years? Do you know? That’s right, a U.S. Supreme Court Justice. From the sanctity of human life, to obscenity, to freedom of speech, to marriage and property and […]

Hot off the battle to confirm Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Concerned Women for America is gearing up for what promises to be an even bigger fight: the appointment of Judge Neil Gorsuch as the next Justice of the Supreme Court.

Capitol Hill Brief — You Made a Difference!
Well, we can all celebrate now! Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama is the 84th Attorney General of the United States. After all the liberal hysteria and the malicious, unwarranted attacks on his character, the opposition has failed miserably. He was confirmed last week by a bipartisan vote of 52 to 47. We have an […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Gorsuch on Hobby Lobby
Before the Supreme Court ever heard the Hobby Lobby case, Judge Neil Gorsuch, who’s being nominated to the Supreme Court, heard it as a judge at the 10th Circuit. Here’s what he wrote: In many ways this case is the tale of two statutes. The [Affordable Care Act] compels the Greens to act. [The […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Gorsuch on Life
Pro-life is not simply anti-abortion, despite what the media says. Abortion is a big part of the fight, thanks to Roe v. Wade, but the issue of euthanasia, for example, is something that has taken a hold of the mind of many people in our nation, and we are doing everything in our power […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Meeting President Trump
Last week, the day after President Trump’s announcement of Judge Neil Gorsuch as his choice for the Supreme Court, I was blessed to meet President Trump at the White House.

Capitol Hill Brief — Get to Know Judge Gorsuch
Here’s a bit on President Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Judge Neil Gorsuch. His academic credentials are second to none: B.A. from Columbia University, Harvard Law School, and if that isn’t enough, he has a Ph.D. in law from University College at Oxford University (on a Marshall Scholarship — that’s a big deal). Bottom line, this is […]
Capitol Hill Brief — President Trump Delivers
President Donald Trump had promised during his campaign to nominate someone for the Supreme Court in the mold of the late, great Justice Antonin Scalia. This meant someone committed to the text of the Constitution as written, instead of the phony liberal philosophy of a “living, breathing” Constitution that they can manipulate at will. […]
Planned Parenthood Ad Proves Waiting Periods Save Lives
Planned Parenthood recently released an advertisement in favor of waiting periods. The ad, perhaps inadvertently, proves that waiting period laws save lives. Waiting periods ensure women consider all their options and the risks involved in having an abortion, not to mention the life of the baby inside them. Twenty-seven states have made waiting periods laws, […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Sex, Lies, and Planned Parenthood
Sex, lies, and Planned Parenthood. Here is what Planned Parenthood says in speeches wherever they go: [Audio clip] Planned Parenthood representative: And a president who will fight for prenatal care. … Prenatal care. And that is what we want to focus on. Here is what they actually tell the women who call their clinics. […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Planned Parenthood Lies
Planned Parenthood lies. I hope every American out there, whatever their stand on abortion, can see that. They lie regularly and purposefully. How many more times must they be caught lying so that we can put an end to their farce? The stench from their involvement in the selling of baby body parts scandal […]
CWA at the March for Life 2017
Today was the March for Life and Concerned Women for America was there to see history made. For the first time, a sitting vice president addressed the March. Today is a new day for the pro-life movement. Many thanks to Vice President Pence for being there. See CWA at the March for Life 2017 […]
