Phony Liberal Outrage on Full Display
Liberals are in disarray. They are only united in their hatred of Trump, but little else. And it is showing regularly in Congress these days. Just a few days ago, after President Trump presented a consensus budget deal, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-California) broke into a tantrum on the House floor, staging a record-breaking, […]
Be Your Valentine
It’s that time of year again, with grossly overpriced roses, chocolates, gift certificates to everything from day spas to fancy restaurants — Happy Valentine’s Day! Of course, it’s only happy if you’ve got that special someone, or if you’re part of the burgeoning movement of young singles who celebrate with their other single friends. But […]
Pray for our Press
The mainstream media suicide continues. It is incredibly sad to watch. It is extremely troubling, especially when you think about the role and purpose it is supposed to serve. This weekend’s coverage of North Korea by many outlets was simply disgraceful. It is now a proven, tangible, quantifiable, irrefutable fact that you cannot trust the […]
CWA in the Budget Battle
The house and senate again failed to agree on spending language by the midnight deadline, therefore shutting down the government for a few hours overnight. President Trump signed the continuing resolution into law a few hours later, but the spending battle is far from over. This spending bill was paired with defense spending and a […]
You’ve Gotta Love Gerber
No, I’m not a paid spokesperson for Gerber. However, in case you haven’t heard, Gerber chose one-year-old Lucas Warren from Dalton, Georgia, as its 2018 Gerber baby. What’s so special about that? Lucas is the first child with Down syndrome to be chosen. Well done, Gerber! Whether they know it or not, Gerber is showing […]
CWA at Walk for Life West Coast
This past weekend, tens of thousands of Pro-Lifers gathered together at the Walk for Life West Coast in San Francisco, California. Concerned Women for America and Young Women for America leaders and members were able to walk for the millions of babies who were never given a chance to do so. We stood with our […]
Obama-Era State Department Leftovers: Re-direct LGBTI Cultural Acceptance Funding
In the beginning, God made man and woman in His own likeness—two distinct sexes each with unique and special characteristics—and declared His creation “good”. Who could have anticipated that this God-given and inherent identity of gender and sex would be so debated, twisted, and redefined by the liberal left today? Even more incredible is that […]
CWA Hard at Work on the Pain Capable Bill
On Monday, January 29, the Senate failed to pass the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. This legislation, sometimes referred to as the 20 Week Ban, protects unborn children nationwide after 20 weeks’ gestation based on the scientific fact that an unborn child can feel pain in utero. This legislation also protects women who face a […]
How Did Your Senator Vote on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act?
As you are probably aware, S. 2311, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, failed to overcome a filibuster in the U.S. Senate last week. The vote was 51-46. Sixty votes were needed to overcome the filibuster. This simple, straightforward bill would prohibit abortions after 20 weeks past conception when science suggests babies start to feel […]
President Trump Allows Americans to Shine Among Ugly Democrat Partisanship
President Donald Trump was masterful last night in his State of the Union Address. He was humble. He stood to the side, so to speak, even as he was emphatic about his first-year accomplishments and allowed Americans to shine. The stories he presented, the people he highlighted, the families he honored were the story of […]
A Better Approach to the State of the Union
It has been remarkable to see the level of disdain aimed at President Trump. It is not normal. It seems unwarranted — even unjust. Disagreement with his policies, or the way he expressed himself at one point or another, or the way he conducted himself in any situation I can understand. But this foaming at the […]
Senate Failed to Pass Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act
Washington, D.C. — Yesterday, the Senate failed to pass S. 2311, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, by a vote of 51-46. This bill would have ended elective abortions after 20 weeks. Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America, issued the following statement: “Senators like Doug Jones (D-Alabama), Heidi Heitkamp (D-North Dakota), and Claire […]
Cecile Richards Steps Down
Washington, D.C. – Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, plans to step down after more than a decade. Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America, had this to say: “Under the leadership of Cecile Richards, Planned Parenthood has grown to push one agenda – abortion above all else – while throwing aside […]
CWA State Organizations are hard at work
January has brought a new year, and state legislatures across the country have started to convene. The 2018 sessions have already presented new challenges to the Biblical principles we value, but our state directors are already working diligently and strategically. Specifically, CWA of Georgia, California, and Maine have taken strong positions on several important bills […]

House Votes to Protect Infants Born Alive After Abortions
Washington, D.C. – Today the House of Representatives passed H.R. 4712, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act by a vote of 241-183.

CWA Attends Announcement of New HHS Division: Conscience and Religious Freedom
This week, members of the CWA staff were invited to a special event at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announcing a new division on Conscience and Religious Freedom in HHS’s Office of Civil Rights. Caroline Aderholt, CWA’s Chief of Staff, was the only non-speaker who was invited behind the scenes to join […]
Why I (a Man) March for Life
Banal minds find it hard to grasp why I serve as legal counsel for Concerned Women for America (CWA). For all their boasting about acceptance, inclusion, and equality, many liberal elites especially have a hard time seeing a man working for a women’s organization. Well I do, proudly. Deal with it.
For America (Day 90)
Praise, glory, and honor be unto You, Jehovah Jireh! Speak to us, as You spoke at Mt. Sinai. May our songs, declaring the goodness of Your works, Be heard in all the earth, now and forever more. We worship through obedience, oh God; Help us in our weaknesses. We strive to live, as our […]
