Capitol Hill Brief — Kaine Supports Hyde
When even radically liberal Tim Kaine supports a restriction on abortion, you know it’s benign. Here he is, reiterating his support for the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits the taxpayer funding of abortion. [Audio Clip] Reporter: One more issue, senator. The Hyde Amendment … [Audio Clip] Sen. Kaine: MmHmm [Audio Clip] Reporter: That bans taxpayer funding […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Hyde Saves Lives
Did you know that many people walking on earth today have the Hyde Amendment to thank? In fact, it is estimated that more than two million babies have been saved because of a simple law that prevents the use of taxpayer funding for abortion. Millions of women in crisis pregnancies instead turn to compassionate pre-natal […]
Capitol Hill Brief – Safe, Legal and Accessible?
So-called “pro-choice” legislators and activists used to say abortion should be “Safe, Legal, and Rare.” Not anymore. The new motto is “Safe, Legal, and Accessible.” Notice the shift? Not rare, rampant abortion is what they want. It’s why they want to repeal the Hyde Amendment, which makes it illegal to directly fund abortion through our […]
For America (Day 75)
Good Lord and Master, May Your name and the sacrifice of Your Son Jesus Christ Be forever praised on Earth As it is in Heaven.
Capitol Hill Brief — Protect Hyde
Abortion is a deeply divisive issue in this country, but most people agree that those who object to it should not be forced to pay for someone else’s abortion. This is the concept behind what is known as the Hyde Amendment, that’s adopted into almost every federal government spending bill annually. First introduced by […]
A Blessing for Our Veterans
Billy Graham once said that, “When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.” This is who we celebrate today on Veteran’s Day — the brave men and women of our military, who by their humble service, lift up an entire nation. So if you are a veteran, the […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Choosing to Serve
Women have played invaluable roles in America’s history. From heroes like Molly Pitcher, who chose to fight in the American Revolution, to Clare Barton, who chose to care for the wounded of the Civil War and founded The American Red Cross, to suffragist Susan B. Anthony, who chose to fight for a woman’s right to […]
President Trump, Now What?
A busy night here at Concerned Women for America’s (CWA) Headquarters where we have decidedly committed this election to prayer. Great comfort and peace comes from that, no matter the outcome. But Donald Trump winning the presidency surely represents some good news for Christian conservative voters, even as some concerns remain.
Capitol Hill Brief — Changes to the Draft
Did you know it’s been over 20 years since the military draft was studied? Think about how much national security has changed since 9/11, for example. Yet, many in Congress insist on tinkering with this delicate matter without investigating what is best for our security and military readiness. One of the things some are […]
Rise of the Totalitarian Atheistic State
There is a bonus scene at the end of the movie “God’s Not Dead 2,” that seemed comical to many because it is so far-fetched. A pastor is, very peacefully and matter-of-factly, arrested for refusing to hand over his sermons to the state. Two police officers hand cuff him and read him his Miranda rights. […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Election Day Confidence
Well, it’s Election Day! Did you vote? I hope you did. Voting is part of our civic duties as American citizens. We vote, not only when the choices are easy, but when we are considering hard issues, too. And let’s be honest, there usually are hard issues, but we can’t be discouraged by it. […]
There is Something Higher than the Election
While each of us may have our opinions or personal convictions about America and the policies that we want to see instituted, the undermining separation that the 2016 election has caused among Christians has forced me to step back and re-evaluate a lot of things.
For America (Day 74)
Oh Lord, Our God, Our Refuge and Safe Passage, Forgive us our selfish wants, As we ignore You, the greatest treasure.
Georgia “Gestapo” Combing Through Pastor’s Sermons
Atlanta, GA – The State of Georgia has served a “Request for Production of Documents” to pastor and former Georgia District Health Director Dr. Eric Walsh, requiring him to surrender copies of his sermons under threat of law. First Liberty Institute is representing him against this violation of his First Amendment rights. Penny Nance, CEO […]
Abortion Demographics – Who Has an Abortion?
Each year in the United States, about 926,000 abortions take place, which account for about 20% (1 in 5) of pregnancies in our nation. Sixty-five percent of these abortions are occurring when the woman is seven weeks pregnant or more. The pro-life movement has successfully reduced the number of abortions, but they have not been […]
Mike Pence Shined in Debate, Showed that Social Issues Matter
Concerned Women for America CEO and President Penny Nance had this to say about last night’s Vice-Presidential Debate: “Mike Pence shined as a Vice Presidential candidate who embodied what it means to show kindness and statesmanship as a faith-filled public servant,” said Penny Nance, President & CEO of Concerned Women for America, our nation’s largest Women’s Public […]
HHS Wants to Force States to Fund Planned Parenthood
In September, the Health and Human Services Department released a report detailing their argument for a new rule saying that states can’t deny Title X funding to “focused reproductive health providers” — which is code for Planned Parenthood. Title X was a provision of the Public Health Service Act, originally enacted in 1980 and dedicated […]
The Hyde Amendment
As the Hyde amendment turns 40, preserving and making permanent the Hyde Amendment is one of the greatest tasks of the pro-life movement. It is not an exaggeration to say that Hyde is the only thing standing between abortion and full federal funding. If Hyde does not stand, our taxpayer money goes directly to funding […]
Searching for Douglass and King
Most people of good faith grieve as they see the events unfold in Charlotte this week. The senseless violence is pointless. I look at these kids aimlessly protesting, and I’m reminded of the events captured by the Apostle Matthew in the ninth chapter of his Gospel.
Time to Tear Down America’s Idol
Yes, I am going there. This will not make me popular. But it must be said. It’s time for all decent Americans to stop worshipping at the altar of football (and sports in general, for that matter).
