Capitol Hill Brief — Religion and Abortion

  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 — Planned Parenthood Services

  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 — Every Beating Heart

  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 — Fight for Life

Trump Set to End Ridiculous War Against Nuns

God bless President Donald J. Trump. As reported by several news outlets, the Trump Administration is set to finally put an end to part of the repugnant ObamaCare contraception mandate which sought to force the Little Sisters of the Poor (LSP) to violate their religious convictions. One of the most bizarre things about the Obama Administration’s ObamaCare […]

If I Were Kathy’s Friend

If I were Kathy Griffin’s friend, I’d want to be by her side now. It must be tough. Most people by now have seen the horrible picture and video. It was bad. Really, bad. She has apologized. But it won’t be easy. I hope she has some good friends by her side at this moment. […]

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. To dispense with the flowery language — strong evidence suggests that Planned Parenthood sold baby parts for profit. At CWA, we summarized the original […]
