Under President Trump, the U.S. Returns to Honoring Life Globally
One of the things President Donald Trump should be most proud of from his short time in the White House is his decision to move the U.S. away from the hideous business of promoting abortion-on-demand around the world. On Jan. 23, 2017, just three days after his swearing-in ceremony, President Trump reinstated what has been […]
How long, O Lord?
Most times I am outraged, really incensed, at the evil that is abortion. I get angry at the debasement of the very image of God. The way outside forces prey on vulnerable women for their personal and corporate profit. Sometimes a sense of the reality of the sin we are committing as a nation weighs […]
To the Women Who Trusted Planned Parenthood
As I was driving into D.C. today, I was struck by how many “Help After Abortion” stickers I saw. Don’t get me wrong; it’s fantastic to get the word out about a post-abortion service through a bumper sticker, but I started to think about the pro-life movement’s relationship with the women to whom these bumper […]
Our One Motivation
As women who are concerned for America, why do we do what we do? Why support lobbying efforts, write letters to Congress, make phone calls to the White House, and give our money to support these endeavors? And why do we pray? It’s because we know the one true God. We support human life from […]

How the Left’s “Inclusion” Rhetoric Excludes
I have been bombarded by the media pushing a leftist political agenda my entire life. Since my high school years, when I first noticed their deliberate attempts to push their particular perspective on me, they seem to be getting even more crass and up front in their efforts. I remember the first time Snapchat got […]

“Clothes Hanger” Abortions – The Worst Argument for Keeping Abortion Legal
One of the most often repeated talking points of the pro-choice left, and even your average apolitical American, is that abortion must be legal because, if illegal, women will need abortion so badly they will resort to clothes hangers to self-induce abortion. This argument is fundamentally flawed and makes a good deal of unfounded assumptions. […]
The Baby Part Business: The Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives Final Report
Concerned Women for America (CWA) has covered the undercover investigation and subsequent congressional investigation into the “fetal tissue procurement” of Planned Parenthood under the guise of “donating tissue” for medical research.

Confident of Gorsuch on Life
Look, I know the pro-life issue is an emotional one. The sanctity of human life and the intrinsic value of every human being as created in the image of God demand no less of us, so I would not expect anything less. But in assessing a judge’s record, we must be conscious of what we […]
Planned Parenthood Ad Proves Waiting Periods Save Lives
Planned Parenthood recently released an advertisement in favor of waiting periods. The ad, perhaps inadvertently, proves that waiting period laws save lives. Waiting periods ensure women consider all their options and the risks involved in having an abortion, not to mention the life of the baby inside them. Twenty-seven states have made waiting periods laws, […]
