Capitol Hill Brief — Abortion and Religion
I have some hard news. Thirty-seven percent of women obtaining abortions identified as evangelical or Catholic. Though self-identification may be a poor form of measuring religious engagements, these findings show that women getting an abortion are willing to be thought of as religious, but are still willing to get an abortion. This is a […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Women Won’t Lose
What does Planned Parenthood actually do? Mammograms? Nope. What about prenatal care? Actually, only 8% of their clinics do that. They boast about GYN exams and STD testing, but those are available through the more than 11,000 community health centers in America. In fact Planned Parenthood only does about 1% of the nation’s pap […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Struggling for Life
Listen carefully to what this Planned Parenthood official says they do with an unborn child that is born as a result of a botched abortion: [Audio Clip] Florida State Rep. Jim Boyd: It’s just really hard for me to even ask you this question, because I’m almost in disbelief. If a baby is born […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Every Heart Beating
I remember hearing the heartbeat of my own children for the first time. [Heartbeat audio] Did you know that we can detect a child’s heartbeat beginning at 21 days? And can be heard by monitor at 8-10 weeks! At 7-12 weeks old, an unborn baby has brain waves and developing features like a nose, […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Broad Support
The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act should not be a left or right issue. Even many pro-choice people support a 20-week ban on abortion. Recent polls by Quinnipiac, National Journal, Huffington Post, NBC News/Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post/ABC News all revealed: A majority of Americans support limiting abortion after 20-weeks’ gestation. Sixty percent of women think abortion after that […]
Justice Department Investigates Planned Parenthood Over Sale of Fetal Tissue
Washington, D.C. — Last night it was announced that the Department of Justice has launched an official investigation of Planned Parenthood’s practices and sale of fetal tissue. Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America, issued the following statement: “It’s about time! Since 1916, when Margaret Sanger opened the first ‘birth control clinic,’ […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Bad Company
According to medical experts, a baby’s pain system at 20-weeks’ gestation is fully developed; the baby’s higher-level, pain-modifying systems have barely begun to develop, leaving them to feel excruciating pain. That is big reason why the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is so desperately needed. What we have in our country is nothing short of a humanitarian crisis. […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Pain-Capable
The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act exposes the left for their radicalism on abortion. The legislation only deals with the unborn child at 20 weeks — that’s five months! I told you yesterday that at five months, a baby has fingernails, her own unique fingerprints, eyebrows, and eyelashes. But did you know that there […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Boy, Girl, or Statistic?
The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is one of the most crucial pieces of pro-life legislation since the passage of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. This legislation not only protects babies who are five months in the womb and can feel excruciating pain, but also protects women who are at an increasingly greater risk […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Trump Administration’s Support for Israel
It’s been refreshing to witness the Trump Administration’s unabashed commitment to support Israel. And I’m so grateful I got to thank the president at a dinner. Their latest action involved withdrawing from UNESCO, citing their unquestionable anti-Israel bias. The U.S. owed $550 million to it, and it contributed annually about 70 million, which compromised […]
CWA’s Legislative Department Defends Adoption
By Friday evening, Penny had joined with a few key Pro-Family and Adoption leaders in America to send a letter to Chairman Kevin Brady outlining the concerns on the issue and asking him to ensure that the adoption tax credit is protected and preserved in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Penny continued […]
What happened when the left thought I would be joining the Trump Administration
A couple of years ago, while appearing on CNN with Van Jones, former Obama Administration Special Adviser for Green Energy, he shared something personal. In a moment of transparency, the Yale-educated lawyer said that the public smearing he received during his tenure as the Green Energy Czar “felt like someone ripped off [his] face and […]
Adoption Tax Credit Restored

Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America had this to say: “We are thankful to see that, as of today, the Adoption Tax […]
Capitol Hill Brief — The Videos are Real
The gut-wrenching videos of Planned Parenthood workers joking callously about the selling of aborted baby parts are real. I know Big Abortion has spent a lot of money to try to manipulate popular opinion, saying they were “heavily edited,” but they are real. Here is Holly O’Donnell, who worked as a procurement technician for StemExpress, […]
