Capitol Hill Brief — The Value of Life

  Friends, hear me loud and clear.  Every child (every person) has intrinsic value as created in the image of GOD.  Can you stop and consider that? Every person you meet stands as a monument to Almighty GOD. How can we disregard any, because of race or creed or nationality or, as we’ve highlighted this […]

Capitol Hill Brief — A Worldwide Problem

  All week, we’ve been highlighting the heartbreaking news that close to 100 percent of babies diagnosed with Down syndrome in Iceland are aborted. But this tragedy is not just a problem for Iceland. It’s a worldwide issue, as the report acknowledges: “Other countries aren’t lagging too far behind in Down syndrome termination rates. According […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Aborted Under Suspicion of Down Syndrome

  Listen to this. The CBS News report we’ve been highlighting this week — which lauded the fact that Iceland was close to eradicating Down syndrome by aborting most babies that could potentially have it, acknowledge that “Many people born with Down syndrome can live full and healthy lives …” and that “The screening test […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Parental Screening Tests

  CBS News recently lauded Iceland for being close to eradicating Down syndrome.  Only the truth is they are “eradicating it” by aborting Down syndrome babies! Here is how the news story started: “With the rise of prenatal screening tests across Europe and the United States, the number of babies born with Down syndrome has significantly decreased, […]

Capitol Hill Brief — CBS News’ Warped View of Life

  My heart broke as I read a despicable CBS News clip last week, highlighting (almost cheering) that Iceland is “close to eradicating Down syndrome.” You and I would cheer too, had they found a cure. But the total opposite is true. Iceland is not eradicating Down syndrome, as the horrid report says; they’re exterminating […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness

  All week I have been warning you about the dangers of socialized medicine with its devaluing of human life.  We saw it firsthand in the case of baby Charlie Gard and his parents, who were prevented from doing everything in their power to save their son’s life. It would have been futile in the […]

Capitol Hill Brief — On to Socialized Medicine?

  Friends, I told you yesterday about the Independent Payment Advisory Board, or IPAB.  This is a group made up of 15 bureaucrats that will get to make decisions about the care needed by some of the sickest and highest-risk patients in our families. As then-President Obama envisioned it, it would even expand to the […]

Capitol Hill Brief — IPAB?

  In the U.S., we still have the relative freedom to pursue alternative treatments and research cures, unlike the case of Charlie Gard that we have been talking about this week. But we are in danger of falling down the path of socialized medicine in a very tangible way. Have you ever heard of ObamaCare’s […]

Senate Health Care Fails

Capitol Hill Brief — Persist in the Fight for Life

    I have been telling you about our Persistent Summer campaign, and today, I want to explore an important tenet of this endeavor: the fight for life. The Founding Fathers declared in the Declaration of Independence that all mankind have an inalienable right to life, yet every year, thousands of innocent babies lose their […]

Charlie Gard: Why his struggle may soon be ours

Charlie Gard is an innocent 11-month-old who was born with a rare genetic disease that is costly to treat. Because of that, he will now be allowed to die. Although he lives in the U.K., Charlie’s case is not irrelevant to Americans. While frustrating and difficult, this is the reality of big government and socialized […]

We are Charlie

This morning, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., leaders of the pro-life community gathered to offer their prayers and support for Chris, Connie, and Charlie Gard of England. Across the world, people are reacting in shock and horror at a recent ruling that grants London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital the power to choose […]

Planned Parenthood Doesn’t Need Our Money

Planned Parenthood’s annual budget is a massive $1.5 billion. You provide, through your tax dollars, 41% of that.  Is this necessary? The numbers are clear, and the answer is a resounding, “No.” To understand the financial situation of Planned Parenthood, it is helpful to examine its past two annual reports. These reports offer insight on […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Our Persistence Summer

  We at Concerned Women for America have declared the summer of 2017 as “Persistence Summer.” It is a time when we are recommitting our efforts to not grow weary in doing good.  Remembering our Lord’s promise in Galatians 6:9 that we will reap a good harvest in due season, if we don’t give up. […]

Repealing ObamaCare and the Future of Women’s Health Care

A repeal of ObamaCare and the subsequent defunding of Planned Parenthood does not mean the end of easy access to women’s health centers. However, the media is still trying to villainize the Republicans’ attempt to fix the collapsing ObamaCare experiment. The most recent effort was a CNN article discussing the story of a woman, Ariana Gonzalez, who […]

The Radical Normality of the Pro-Life View

The world is shocked by the European Court of Human Rights decision to remove 10-month-old Charlie Gard from life support against the wishes of his parents. After his doctors said there was nothing more they could do for him, Chris Gard and Connie Yates, Charlie’s parents, raised 1.6 million dollars to move Charlie from London […]
