Congress Should Not Fix College Sports at the Expense of Female Athletes
Congress is attempting to address the growing college sports crisis. But they shouldn’t do it at the expense of female athletes. The issue of Name, Image, and Likeness, or NIL, has been roiling college athletics for several years now. The ability of college athletes to profit from their personal brands has caused a litany of […]
The Darker Side of Sports That Could Be Targeting Your Kids
Kurt Freudenberg did not fall into gambling as an adult looking for a fun diversion from the dull routine of life. He didn’t even start in college as a way to procrastinate on classwork. He placed his first bet at 11 years old. “I wouldn’t be tired. I wouldn’t be hungry. I wouldn’t want to […]
God’s Design for Gender: Rejecting the Lies of Transition Surgeries
Once, when growing up, I, Serenity, had a dress-up day at my school. The other girls in my class wanted to be princesses and fairies, but in my confident and stubborn fashion, I desired a different approach. I wanted to be Batman. My parents were a little surprised, but they got me a costume and […]
CWALAC Holds Capitol Hill Briefing to Support Moms
Abortion advocates would have the country believe that pro-lifers only care about the baby while it’s in the womb and have no regard for the mother or the child after it’s born. But the reality is that the pro-life community has created countless resources specifically to care for mom and baby throughout every step of […]
Democrats Propose Bill to Repeal School Choice Program
Democrats say they’re pro-choice. Unless, of course, that means families getting to choose to send their children to a non-public school. This week in Congress, a number of Democrats made it clear that in that case, they are very much against choice. Last summer, Congress passed the first-ever federal school choice program as part of […]
The Status of the Effort to Defund Planned Parenthood in Congress
Last year, Congress delivered its most significant pro-life victory ever by ending federal funding to big abortion providers for a year. But on July 4th, America’s 250th birthday, that funding will be restored unless Congress acts. What is the current status of that effort? For decades, Planned Parenthood and other big abortion providers have leeched […]
Hostile Foreign Nations Are Influencing American Universities; Greater Transparency Is Needed
American universities are supposed to be the exemplar of what makes this country great. And yet malign foreign influence has been eroding the integrity of American higher education for years. Rather than turning out scholars and patriots, universities have become bastions of anti-American sentiment, woke academia, and treasure troves of sensitive information for nations that […]
Democrats Elevate LGBTQ Flag While Refusing to Fund the Government
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been shut down for almost two weeks after Congress failed to pass a funding bill before the February 13 deadline. But instead of trying to reach a deal with their Republican colleagues, Senate Democrats have a different priority – granting the LGBTQ rainbow flag the same Congressionally recognized […]
No, Requiring Voter ID is Not Sexist
There are two similar bills causing the controversy du jour on Capitol Hill – the SAVE Act and the SAVE America Act. Both would better protect the integrity of elections in the U.S. by ensuring voter ID and requiring proof of citizenship. But opponents are arguing that, among other claims, these bills are sexist and […]
Congress Passed School Choice; Now It’s Up to the States to Implement It
For many families, finances are the primary obstacle to escaping the public school system. Private schools are expensive; homeschooling usually requires one parent to stay at home part or full-time. Even extracurricular activities or tutoring require some kind of sacrifice. The result is that the number of families who desire school choice far outstrip those […]
Senate Hearing on Chemical Abortion Turns Into Basic Biology Lesson
It is impossible to care about women and their health if you cannot define what a woman is. That simple truth was put on full display at a recent Senate hearing aimed at exposing the dangers of chemical abortion. As the pro-life witnesses shared the threats that the unregulated chemical abortion pill poses to women’s […]
What’s in Store for Congress in 2026
Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) celebrated huge wins that came out of Congress in 2025.

Congress Bans Dangerous Hemp-Based Products
While America cheered that Congress finally funded the government, the funding bill included a less celebrated but far more significant victory – a ban on dangerous intoxicating hemp products. For years, seemingly harmless hemp products have been filling the shelves of gas stations, vape shops, and liquor stores. THC seltzer waters and soda, Hemp-laced gummies […]
Schumer Shutdown Comes to an End
After over 43 days and 15 votes on the House-passed funding bill, the longest government shutdown in American history is finally over. Despite its record-breaking length, despite forcing thousands of federal workers to miss multiple paychecks, despite low-income families losing their SNAP benefits, despite thousands of flight cancellations and hours long TSA lines, the finale […]
Schumer Shutdown Update: What’s Happening with SNAP
As of November 1, government funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, officially ran out due to the continued government shutdown. As Democrats, led by Sen.

Senate Hearing Highlights Urgent Problem of Left-Wing Political Violence
“It’s a both sides problem, and both sides need to tone down the rhetoric.” That’s the mantra we have heard repeatedly after each violent political attack over the last 15 months. And yet, it seems as if a disproportionate number of these attacks are inspired by left-wing political rhetoric. Without acknowledging the source of this […]
Shutdown Update: The RIFs Have Begun
It’s now day 21 of the Schumer shutdown with no sign of the two sides reaching an agreement. As the situation drags on, the White House is looking for ways to ensure that critical programs are still funded and operational. One way is to cut the jobs and agencies that are unnecessary government bloat. Last […]
The Shutdown Continues
At midnight on October 1, the government shut down for the first time in seven years. As Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) reported last week, the disagreement lies in the Republicans’ desire to keep funding levels as they are for the time being (which is high already), whereas Democrats want to increase […]
Will Chuck Schumer Shutdown the Government?
Once again, it’s the twelfth hour before government funding runs out, and it is unclear what Congress will do. Will they pass a spending bill in time?

Senate Hearing Reveals Meta Buried Research into Online Child Abuse
It has been over a year since Mark Zuckerburg stood in front of a room full of grieving parents and apologized for the many children who have been irreversibly harmed by his online platforms.
