CWA Disappointed in POTUS Delay in Moving Israeli Embassy
Washington, D.C. – Today, President Trump signed a six-month waiver instead of honoring the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 which required the U.S. Embassy to be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America, said today: “CWA’s members are very disappointed that the president chose to sign […]

Yesterday, Planned Parenthood released their 2015-2016 annual report — six months later than usual. Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America, issued the following statement in response: “In the midst of a desperate fight to prove their relevance and fitness for federal funding, Planned Parenthood quietly released their latest annual report to […]
Capitol Hill Brief — No Constitutional Violation
The government in the Trinity Lutheran religious liberty Supreme Court case tried to have it both ways. They assured the Court there was no establishment clause violation with their program, but then argued they excluded the school in this case to avoid an apparently non-existent violation. Here’s Chief Justice Roberts and the attorney for […]
If I Were Kathy’s Friend
If I were Kathy Griffin’s friend, I’d want to be by her side now. It must be tough. Most people by now have seen the horrible picture and video. It was bad. Really, bad. She has apologized. But it won’t be easy. I hope she has some good friends by her side at this moment. […]
This Memorial Day: We Remember
By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. — 1 John 3:16 All gave some… Some gave all. Join CWA as we remember those who have died defending our country and our freedoms. Let us pause to […]
Memorial Day: Were it Not for America
This morning I attended the small town funeral of a World War II veteran. He served in the Air Force B-24 Bomber Squadron, 8th Air Force, England. Watching the presentation of the flag to his widow, a British war bride (they were married 66 years), I was deeply touched once again by what these brave […]
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 […]
To the Women Who Trusted Planned Parenthood
As I was driving into D.C. today, I was struck by how many “Help After Abortion” stickers I saw. Don’t get me wrong; it’s fantastic to get the word out about a post-abortion service through a bumper sticker, but I started to think about the pro-life movement’s relationship with the women to whom these bumper […]
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 […]
Our One Motivation
As women who are concerned for America, why do we do what we do? Why support lobbying efforts, write letters to Congress, make phone calls to the White House, and give our money to support these endeavors? And why do we pray? It’s because we know the one true God. We support human life from […]

Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America, has joined her voice with those of other Christian leaders in calling on President Trump to “uphold American law by moving the U.S. Embassy to Israel’s eternal and indivisible capital city of Jerusalem.” In a letter dated May 16, 2017, Mrs. Nance and others remind […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Campus Free Speech
What is happening in America’s college campuses should be troubling for all of us. Not only is a radical liberal philosophy overwhelmingly predominant at most state universities, but now they’re trying to silence the few conservative voices that are invited to speak. Before conservative speakers can even address students at these schools, radical […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Happy Mother’s Day
As we get ready to celebrate Mother’s Day this coming Sunday, I want to invite you to join Concerned Women for America in prayer for a change of heart for our country — a shift away from the sin of abortion and towards a day when every life is embraced with joy, as a […]
Capitol Hill Brief — ObamaCare Gone
“If you like your plan, you can keep your plan,” they told us. But ObamaCare took health care out of the hands of patients and doctors and put it into the hands of Washington bureaucrats. Millions of Americans suddenly found themselves with cancelled plans and ever-increasing premiums. Not to mention the fact that it […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Support the New Health Care Bill
There’s a new President in town, and the atmosphere in Washington is tense. Especially as it relates to the debate to repeal and replace ObamaCare. President Trump is doing everything within his power to deliver on his big campaign promise of a full repeal of ObamaCare. The Democrats, for their part, are doing everything […]
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 […]
For America (Day 78)
You meant it all for good; All of it — for our sake and Your glory. Like the sound of a thousand raindrops, We sing, “Thank You.”
