Victory for Children, Families, CWA, the Pro-Life Community and Our Nation
The Adoption Tax Credit is saved! We told you recently about some rumblings at the Capitol where some congressmen were considering dropping this important adoption incentive. As Penny Nance, our CEO & President, told Axios, we immediately went to “work to clean up the mistake” and that is precisely what we did. Concerned Women for […]
Trump, Senate Laying a Strong Foundation for the Third Branch
Although you may be frustrated with the U.S. Senate’s work in other areas, on judicial nominations they are working hard and achieving much progress under the leadership of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) and Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). Five judicial nominees in four days last week is no small feat, given that Democrats are […]
Dogma Lives On, For Now
It’s a big win for religious liberty and Concerned Women for America (CWA) this week, as the U.S. Senate confirmed by a vote of 55-43 Prof. Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. A big “thank you” to all of our CWA members who made their voices heard on this […]
BREAKING: Religious Liberty Flourishes; Sky Does Not Fall
In case you haven’t heard, the Little Sisters of the Poor are now free to “offer the neediest elderly of every race and religion a home where they will be welcomed as Christ, cared for as family and accompanied with dignity until God calls them to himself.” I know, “horrible.” They should have been punished with […]

For America (Day 83)
Oh Lord, behold our affliction For the suffering of our people. What sorrow afflicts us at the sight Of what is happening in our country. We groan for the victimized and terrorized At the hands of evil, unscrupulous men. Who hate the truth and the light And seek to extinguish our spirit. That they shall […]

No God, No Justice
The constant cry for justice in our times is tiresome and boring. Like my six-year-old’s toy train’s sounds, they were cute at first. After a few hours, they’re just insufferable. The “justice now” train is not going much farther than my son’s convoy tracking around him in circles as he plays on his knees. They, […]
Planned Parenthood Doesn’t Need Our Money
Planned Parenthood’s annual budget is a massive $1.5 billion. You provide, through your tax dollars, 41% of that. Is this necessary? The numbers are clear, and the answer is a resounding, “No.” To understand the financial situation of Planned Parenthood, it is helpful to examine its past two annual reports. These reports offer insight on […]
Repealing ObamaCare and the Future of Women’s Health Care
A repeal of ObamaCare and the subsequent defunding of Planned Parenthood does not mean the end of easy access to women’s health centers. However, the media is still trying to villainize the Republicans’ attempt to fix the collapsing ObamaCare experiment. The most recent effort was a CNN article discussing the story of a woman, Ariana Gonzalez, who […]
Time to Stop Punishing the Free Exercise of Religion
Trinity Lutheran v. Comer Today at the U.S. Supreme Court, as was the case during oral arguments, no one showed up to support the state of Missouri in the Trinity Lutheran v. Comer religious liberty case. Concerned Women for America (CWA) was at the courthouse steps early, anticipating a big victory for religious freedom. And […]
Victory for CSU Students for Life Group
Students for Life won a decided victory this past week when it reached a settlement with Colorado State University (CSU) in its fight for equal standing with other school organizations. In January Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court on behalf of the Students for Life chapter at CSU after the […]
Bernie’s Oppressive America
Sen. Bernie Sanders’ socialism enjoyed surprising popularity in the last presidential election. This is disturbing to any student of history, given the overwhelming evidence of oppression that follows the implementation of that treacherous philosophy anywhere in the world. That explains, in part, his popularity with young people, who are unfortunately and increasingly unaware of the […]
CWA Statement on President Trump’s Newest Judicial Nominees
Today, the White House announced a new list of federal judicial nominations. Below is a statement from Concerned Women for America: “President Trump continues to fulfill his promise to the American people by appointing supremely qualified, constitutionalist judges for judicial nominations. We are thrilled to see that Justice Gorsuch was just the beginning. The president’s […]
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 […]
Manchester Reminds Us the Church Must Be Engaged
At least 22 died yesterday and another 120 more were injured (so far) after a bomb detonation at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. It is an incredible tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families, and they are also against the forces of evil behind this attack. We often […]
Good First Step on Religious Freedom by President Trump
The pressure to criticize, cynically mock and downplay anything President Donald Trump does is considerable these days. I, like many, many, Americans have decided to give the frustrated their space to vent, while I focus on bringing about positive change in the best way I can. Today, that means I want to praise President Trump […]
