Becerra.  And Concerned Women for America (CWA) will be in front of the Supreme Court to rally for freedom and for life. This is the case I’ve written […]

Not Your Grandfather’s Pornography: the Problem, the Harm, and a Policy Response

As the country wrestles with the widespread problem of sexual assault (as embodied in the recent “#MeToo” phenomena) and how to respond to it, we must consider the multiple factors that lie at the root of the issue. The rapid spread of online pornography, with its decisive sexual objectification of women, is one area that […]

International Women’s Day: Is #MeToo Yesterday’s Hashtag, or Will it Bring True Change?

Five months out from the Harvey Weinstein scandal and the subsequent launch of #MeToo, we find ourselves celebrating International Women’s Day on Thursday with a focus on gender parity. Concerned Women for America members join in the celebration. Thankfully, American women enjoy more freedom, opportunity and legal protection than most, if not the entire, world. This is […]

CWA Staff Pay Respects to Rev. Billy Graham

On Wednesday, The Reverend Billy Graham, America’s Pastor, was brought to the Capitol where he was laid in state. Hundreds of people waited in line to pay their respects to a man who touched countless lives. A handful of our CWA staff were able to make time to attend and shared their thoughts.   “I […]

CWA at White House Opioid Summit

Today I sat in the East Wing of the White House with eyes full of tears as a father shared the story of his son who he lost to an opioid addiction. He thanked the President and First Lady for the opportunity to be there and share his story – “I’m amazed that my journey […]

Another Hard-fought Victory This Week – Sex Trafficking

This week the House passed a sex trafficking bill (H.R. 1865) that would allow state attorneys general and victims to sue websites that knowingly facilitate sex trafficking. This bill was created to target sites like Backpage.com, which is currently under Senate investigation because of the hosting of ads that promoted the trafficking of minors. The legislation […]

CWA’s Senior Advisor for Foreign Affairs Addresses Christianity in Iraq

In America, we trace our Christian heritage to before the founding of our nation, when European Christians sought a home free from religious persecution where they could practice their faith according to their own convictions.  But in the Middle Eastern country of Iraq, Christianity has very old roots stemming from the 1st century A.D., even […]

Statement of Penny Nance on the Passing of Rev. Bill Graham

Washington, D.C. — The world woke to the news that Reverend Billy Graham had passed to his eternal reward. Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America (CWA), had this to say: “Concerned Women for America joins the Graham family today as they mourn the loss of the great Reverend Billy Graham. We […]

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 […]
