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.

Capitol Hill Brief — Merry Christmas
What do we celebrate on Christmas? That, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” That we witnessed, “His glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” There’s no bigger truth for us as Christians. This is the good news we […]

Capitol Hill Brief — The Christmas Scene
There’s a poem by G.K. Chesterton which captures well the scene of that first Christmas: There fared a mother driven forth Out of an inn to roam; In the place where she was homeless All men are at home. The crazy stable close at hand, With shaking timber and shifting sand, Grew a stronger […]

What joy is the Christmas season! The colors, the lights, the snow. It’s a time to gather with family and friends. But above all, it is a time to remember our Savior’s birth. One of my favorite things to help me remember are our old hymns, full of Scripture and beauty. “Hark the herald […]

Christmas Celebrates the Unborn; We Should, Too
“In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary.” So begins the story of Gabriel’s visit to Mary in the Gospel of Luke. “Greetings, […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Disparate Foundings
The founding of Planned Parenthood vs. Community Health Centers couldn’t be more different. Planned Parenthood was founded under the philosophy that the only way to help the poor was to stop them from reproducing. It’s this offensive attitude that lead to Planned Parenthood becoming the largest abortion provider in America. By contrast, Community Health […]
