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 […]
Hawaii Dependent on Outcome of California Supreme Court Case to Defend their Crises Pregnancy Centers
California: On September 25, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is scheduled to consider whether to grant cert. (a hearing) in the case of NIFLA v. Becerra. The suit challenges the state of California on an unconstitutional law that mandates and compels prolife pregnancy centers to refer for abortion, just like Hawaii’s S.B. […]

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 […]
Maine Victims of Crime – We Need Your Stories
Have you been a victim of crime in Maine? Did you have all the rights throughout the legal process that you should have? As it stands now, it is not a requirement that a victim be notified of public proceedings at which the victim has a right to be heard, the right to confer with […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Blue Slips
One of the biggest reasons for Trumps surprising victory was his commitment to appointing constitutional judges. President Trump has done as promised, but Democrats are vowing to stop him. But how can they do that, you may ask, when Republicans have the majority in the Senate? Well, some leftists are advocating for the misuse […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Pro-Life Judges Not Allowed
Just to give you an idea of the type of judges President Trump is appointing and the objections by the left, here’s why Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat from Connecticut, objected to the appointment of Judge John Bush to the 6th Circuit. Blumenthal objected to Judge Bush writing in an op-ed that, “The two […]
Capitol Hill Brief — The Left Vows to Fight
The left depends on judges legislating from the bench to advance their causes. Because when the issues are left to the American people, they usually lose. That is why President Trump’s appointment of constitutional judges, who refuse to legislate from the bench and distort the law to bring about so-called progress, is a great […]
CWA President Penny Nance on Charlottesville
Share on Facebook. Share on Twitter. I just wanted to take just a moment to offer a thought about what’s going on in our country today, specifically the sad sad stories coming out of Charlottesville. You know, I don’t know about you but I was completely shocked and appalled by what transpired on Saturday […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Trump Has Earned Our Trust on Judges
If you listen to Janet’s program, then you know about President Trump’s stupendous appointment of Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court. We’re just beginning to reap the benefits of Gorsuch’s sound mind and clear constitutional judicial philosophy. But he’s not the only good judicial appointment President Trumps has made. To his credit, the […]
Feminists went all-out Mean Girls on Melania and Ivanka Trump
Feminists went all-out Mean Girls on Melania and Ivanka Trump, when a Newsweek piece called them out for — wait for it — wearing high heels. I love a good pair of stilettos, block heels, wedge, you name it, but according to Nina Burleigh over at Newsweek, heels symbolize everything that is wrong with the Trump women. […]
A Reminder of Why We Do What We Do
I think I joined Concerned Women for America (CWA) back in 1985. As I am not normally a “joiner” of groups, this one particularly intrigued me as I became involved with a small group of women who held a CWA Prayer/Action Chapter. I was impressed at how humble and “concerned” they were about the growing […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Support Trump on Judges
Did you know that President Trump has made more judicial nominations at this point than Obama, Clinton, and Reagan combined? That’s right. The media wouldn’t tell you that, but the president’s doing excellent work in this area, and the impact will be lasting. Remember many of these judicial appointments are for life, and these […]
Google Is Holding Women Back
It is not a surprise to anyone that there is a dearth of women employed in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) jobs. Recently, my sixteen-year-old son attended a week-long engineering summer camp. Upon his return, he said that out of about 25 kids, only three were girls. The question is, “Why?” Is it nature […]
ITN: Grass-Roots Conservative Leader: Pence Speculation ‘Designed to Sow Discord in the West Wing’
In the News … CEO and President of Concerned Women for America (CWA) Penny Young Nance said Monday a weekend report alleging that Vice President Mike Pence was gearing up for a 2020 presidential bid “absolutely” was “designed to sow discord in the West Wing” and strain Pence’s relationship with President Donald Trump.

Do Transgender Rights Trump Women’s Rights? The Left Needs to Decide
As the Left have attempted to stake their claim as the only group who represents and cares about women, they have also managed to simultaneously stab these same women in the back, betraying the very essence of their femininity and steamrolling over the uniqueness of the sexes in order to elevate their own agendas. The […]
For America (Day 79)
Courage, Lord! Give us courage; Courage based on confidence, Not on ourselves, but on who You are: Our Rock of eternal salvation.
Capitol Hill Brief — Persist in the Fight for the Family
According to U.S. Census Bureau, an estimated 24.7 million children live without their biological father. Sadly, this disproportionately affects minority communities. And the effects of this reality are heartbreaking: Children in father-absent homes are almost four times more likely to be poor. They’re more likely to abuse drug and alcohol, have physical and emotional […]
