The “Equality Act’s” Transactivist Agenda is a Direct Assault on Women
The American People Deserve Better On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee rejected conservative attempts to address unfairness and extremism in the “Equality Act”. Liberals proved they no longer stand for women. Women have fought long and hard to gain status. Now, males self-identifying as women are celebrated in sports competitions; they steal women-owned business grants, […]

Is It Fair Play? How Female Athletes Are Losing in the Age of Gender Identity
I’m the mother of two athletes, a son who currently plays college baseball and a daughter who was captain of her volleyball team and on elite club teams. Today, my daughter’s leadership, work ethic, and resiliency from sports is translating in her college endeavors, including Army ROTC. Doors of opportunity open for female athletes through […]
Congressional Hearings on the So-Called “Equality Act” Expose True Threats to Women and Girls
Congress is debating the “Equality Act,” a top-ten priority of Speaker Pelosi (D-California) and House Democrats. It would enshrine “gender identity” as a protected trait in federal civil rights law. This denies the biological, scientific fact that being male or female is inscribed in our DNA and determines our sex. Self-declared “gender identity” would be […]
Abortion at 20 Weeks Takes the Senate Stage
Since Roe v. Wade, technology has changed our understanding of preborn life, and we need to face the truth on this issue: unborn children do feel pain. Science and medicine have no issue acknowledging this. While some preborn children are administered anesthesia during necessary surgery in utero, others have their limbs ripped from their bodies in […]

Shame on Google for dissolving its AI council over African-American leader Kay Coles James
Women across the political perspective applauded recently when Kay Coles James, the first woman and the first African-American to lead the conservative and respected Heritage Foundation, was chosen to join Google’s new external advisory council to in part discuss the ethics of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our joy lasted barely a week when, in reaction to internal pressure from […]
Saving Money Shouldn’t Mean Hurting Grandma
Concerned Women for America (CWA) has always fought to protect life from its beginning at conception until natural death. A recent hospital stay and subsequent medical care for my 80-year-old mother has served as a wakeup call to the particular vulnerability of the elderly. With this top of mind while caring for her in Tennessee, […]
Senate Rule Change on Nominations Unfortunately Necessary
The U.S. Senate has now officially moved to limit the amount of post-cloture debate time for sub-Cabinet executive nominees and judicial nominees other than the circuit and Supreme Court level. Debate time will be limited to two hours as opposed to the usual thirty. The move was (unfortunately) desperately needed after the unprecedented and unnecessary […]

House Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Disappoints, Fails to Protect Women
This week, the House passed a reauthorization bill of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), but this bill falls short and fails to accomplish its namesake goal. From its inception, the purpose of VAWA has been to protect, support, and seek justice for women who have suffered assault or abuse. CWALAC fully supports that mission. The goal of the current VAWA reauthorization […]
The House Makes Unprecedented Moves on Born Alive
On Tuesday, Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana) filed a discharge petition for H.R. 962, the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. A discharge petition is a way to bring a bill to the floor that is otherwise being blocked by the Speaker, if the majority (218) of representatives agree and sign. On every legislative day […]
