A Democratic Lack of Hearing in the Planned Parenthood Hearings

I recently had the privilege of attending the House Judiciary hearing concerning Planned Parenthood’s abortion procedures and medical ethics. It sounds odd to say “privilege” about anything concerning such a heartbreaking topic, but my analytical mind thrives on the opportunity to hear both sides to a story. It helps me form my opinions and often […]

On a recent trip to Cedarville University in Ohio, Project Coordinator and Writer, Hannah Wegman, interviewed with the Center for Bioethics regarding the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. Our staff is not only going coast-to-coast to start Young Women for America chapters; they are also educating and preparing students to engage with their peers

To Call ‘Good’ ‘Evil’

I was there. … I sat for hours watching Cecile Richards defend Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the United States. For the first hour, I couldn’t even get into the packed House Committee room. When I did, it was the world of Isaiah 5:20: “Woe to those who call evil good and good […]

Planned Parenthood and Post-Hearing Action

This week, Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards was called before the House Oversight Committee.  The question of the day was whether Planned Parenthood deserved federal funding (a decision Congress put off by passing a temporary budget until December when the debate on passing a budget will resume). Miss Richards was the only one questioned with […]

Concerned Women for America is proud to sponsor this website because we believe it is important for women to know they have real choices when it comes to health care.

Sex Trafficking Victims Branded by a New King

Crowned. When you read the word, what descriptions come to mind? For most, it signifies one who is deemed royal, favored, respected, and dignified. But for women who have been the victim of sex trafficking, being “crowned” has a completely different meaning.

I Would Rather Be Caught by ISIS Than Stand with Kim Davis

Don’t panic; or maybe you should. The title of this article is based on the consensus I got from an overwhelming number of Christians. From fellow believers, the response to Kim Davis was surprisingly 50/50. Either she was a hero of the faith, courageous, and may we dare to think we ourselves

The Casey Contradiction

Following in his late father’s footsteps, Sen. Robert (Bob) Casey (D-Pennsylvania) was sworn into office under the promise of protecting the sanctity of life — one of the few from the Democratic Party saying he was willing to defend the rights of the unborn. However, thus far he has failed to uphold the convictions of

Don’t Fail the Silent Children

Recently, I found myself extremely touched by a Stuart Townsend song titled, How Long? How long before we see Your righteous hand? How long before Your name is lifted high? How long before the weeping turns to songs of joy?   Lord, we know Your heart is broken By the evil that You see, And […]

This is ISIS

Editor’s Note: On the anniversary of 9/11, we make good on our promise to “Never Forget.” But we also wish to remain eternally vigilant. We don’t want what happened on September 11, 2001, to ever again happen on our soil. And so, we offer you some thoughts on ISIS, the latest incarnation of evil to […]

No Christians Allowed: A New Kind of Religious Test for Public Office

For six days, Kim Davis sat in jail because, to put it most simply, it had been found that you can’t be a practicing Christian and serve the public office of county clerk. But for Kim Davis, and any genuine Christian, Christianity CAN’T be taken entirely out of a job; it is a whole identity. […]

Kim Davis and Religious Freedom. Chuck Colson Predicted This

The new book My Final Word: Holding Tight to the Issues that Matter contains a prophetic collection of short essays and memos penned before the death of Watergate figure and Prison Fellowship founder Chuck Colson. One in particular was stunning in its relevance to the threats faced by modern-day Christians in public life.

How I Became a Young Woman for America

Growing up in a small, southern Arkansas “Bible Belt” town, my political and religious beliefs did not need to be explained, and no one ever challenged them, since most of the town was of the same opinions as I. After graduating from high school, I decided to attend Lyon College in Batesville, Arkansas. This college […]

Ignoring James 1:27: That Pro-Choice Bone in the Church’s Body

Some Christians may be part of the problem.  When there is a problem in the world, the Church need not be surprised.  We are all predisposed to sin and brokenness.  But it is the Church, who knows the only answer to our sinfulness (Jesus Christ), that should be a beacon of hope and light.  But […]

Planned Parenthood’s Plan: Ignore The Videos And Focus on Anything Else

Planned Parenthood and its supporters in the media are working extra hard to cover the truth about their “business” dealings after the recent undercover videos by the Center for Medical Progress. The left fears nothing more than exposure. The videos, showing how Planned Parenthood haggled over the price of aborted babies’ hearts, lungs, brains,

Cecile Richards Lost in Translation

Editor’s Note: Have you ever listened to Planned Parenthood’s president, Cecile Richards, and wondered, “What on earth did she mean by that?” The following parody piece seeks to answer that question by defining the terms Miss Richards would use in press statement. Enjoy. Hello.  I’m Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Planned […]

A Rally Point for America

I was so encouraged to see all the people at the Planned Parenthood rally this past weekend. It was so good to know that I was not alone in being moved to justice for the unborn, tortured, and abandoned. The Center for Medical Progress has been a blessing to this country in opening the eyes of […]

I’ve Been Where You Are

Editor’s Note: If you’ve ever wondered what a woman can go through with a “safe, legal, and rare” abortion, read on. And if you’re one of those women who has experienced one and is silently struggling with your decision, definitely read on. There is hope … and healing. Hello, my name is Cathy. Most people […]

The Bottom Line

The (now seven) videos from the Center for Medical Progress have clearly outlined Planned Parenthood’s disregard for not only life but also the law. Another heartbreaking facet is how the mainstream media choses to ignore these facts to better serve their own interests. Instead of fair and unbiased reporting, the media chooses sides and overwhelmingly reports on […]

Hilton Heeds Demand to End Adult On-Demand

After years of perseverance and lobbying with other pro-family organizations, Concerned Women for America (CWA) is overjoyed to report that Hilton Hotels will now remove all on-demand pornographic videos from its properties worldwide. Hilton Hotels were once on The National Center on Sexual Exploitation’s “Dirty Dozen List” but have now been removed. We recognize that
