Stormy Daniels And Her $130,000 Donation To Planned Parenthood

Lest her calm, cool, and collected 60 Minutes interview give the wrong impression, it’s important for us to remember that Stormy Daniels is in no position to establish herself as a role model for women and young girls. Having received some backlash for accepting what has been characterized as hush money, Daniels is now trying […]

“What are we doing about Planned Parenthood now?”

One of the most common questions I get from grassroots advocates, supporters or even other D.C. folk is, “What are we doing now about Planned Parenthood?” Although we have proven we can get Planned Parenthood’s Medicaid reimbursement funding redirected to better healthcare providers through a House vote, the Senate makeup is not changing right now, […]

Together, unexpectedly pregnant and childless women […]

Taking Aim at the Elephant in the Room: Why Republicans Should be Nervous

Last week, President Trump begrudgingly signed into law a $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill that runs out in September.  The Republican-controlled Congress sent the president a bill that rightfully increases support for the U.S. military but doesn’t offset spending and, thus, increases our national debt by at least $1 trillion. The American public has little […]

Urge HHS to Protect Statutory Conscience Rights in Health Care

Our nation has a long history of protecting the beliefs of individuals and entities who object to certain activities based on religious and/or moral convictions.

Why I (a Man) March for Life

Banal minds find it hard to grasp why I serve as legal counsel for Concerned Women for America (CWA). For all their boasting about acceptance, inclusion, and equality, many liberal elites especially have a hard time seeing a man working for a women’s organization. Well I do, proudly. Deal with it.
