Sen. Hirono Should Step Up for Justice

As a woman and as an American,  I’m dismayed by the message Sen.

Black Women Are Betraying Their Sisters on Abortion

One group of black women are peddling the belief that abortion is “self-care,” that it benefits women and their families. This snake oil is being sold by The Afiya Center (TAC), which put these slogans on a giant billboard in Texas. As a free-thinking, informed and intuitive black woman, I don’t buy it.

Kavanaugh: calm in the midst of chaos

Walking into the atrium of the Hart Senate Office Building the first day of Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing was absolutely not what was expected.

Senators Fail to Defund Planned Parenthood

In a rare up-or-down pro-life vote on Capitol Hill, the Senate voted last week on an amendment to the Labor HHS/Department of Defense “minibus” Appropriations bill.  The amendment offered by Sen.
