Congressional Hearings on the So-Called “Equality Act” Expose True Threats to Women and Girls
Congress is debating the “Equality Act,” a top-ten priority of Speaker Pelosi (D-California) and House Democrats. It would enshrine “gender identity” as a protected trait in federal civil rights law. This denies the biological, scientific fact that being male or female is inscribed in our DNA and determines our sex. Self-declared “gender identity” would be […]
Shame on Google for dissolving its AI council over African-American leader Kay Coles James
Women across the political perspective applauded recently when Kay Coles James, the first woman and the first African-American to lead the conservative and respected Heritage Foundation, was chosen to join Google’s new external advisory council to in part discuss the ethics of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our joy lasted barely a week when, in reaction to internal pressure from […]
Saving Money Shouldn’t Mean Hurting Grandma
Concerned Women for America (CWA) has always fought to protect life from its beginning at conception until natural death. A recent hospital stay and subsequent medical care for my 80-year-old mother has served as a wakeup call to the particular vulnerability of the elderly. With this top of mind while caring for her in Tennessee, […]
Fair Play? Women’s Athletics in the Age of Gender Identity
Fair Play? Women’s Athletics in the Age of Gender Identity, Heritage Foundation – April 8, 2019 Remarks by Doreen Denny, Senior Director of Government Relations
Don’t be fooled ladies — the Equality Act is a threat to all of us
How can people like Ginni Rometty, the first female CEO of IBM, so easily jump on the bandwagon of the so-called Equality Act and fail to see its obvious threats to women? The Equality Act, which would amend existing federal civil rights laws (including the Civil Rights Act of 1964) to include sexual orientation and gender identity […]
Trump UN Social Policy Strengthens U.S.-Foreign Relations – Reject Neocolonialism and Uphold National Sovereignty
This Counterpoint examines recent trends in international relations, concluding, among other things, that promoting “progressive” western social values through U.S. foreign policy erodes public goodwill toward the U.S. and endanger relations with the majority of socially conservative and religious countries of Africa, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East—and populations in Latin America and Eastern and […]
Democrats’ attacks on Kavanaugh replacement Neomi Rao are unfair – I was nearly raped and I support her
Neomi Rao is President Trump’s nominee for the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, a federal court that is generally recognized as the second-most important court in the nation. Four sitting Supreme Court justices previously sat on the D.C. Circuit. There is no question that Rao is well qualified for this position. A graduate of Yale University and the University […]
The Inequality of the “Equality Act”
On Monday the Heritage Foundation hosted a panel discussion titled, “The Inequality of the Equality Act: Concerns from the Left” where four self-described liberal feminists, including an openly gay woman and one man who formerly identified as transgender, detailed their concerns over transgender activism. The left is pushing special, elevated, civil rights-type protections for gender […]
Here is why the U.S. Embassy Move is so important to American Christians
On May 14, 1948, just after the provisional government of Israel proclaimed the new state of Israel, President Truman said: “This government has been informed that a Jewish state has been proclaimed in Palestine, and recognition has been requested by the provisional government thereof. The United States recognizes the provisional government as the de facto authority […]
Taking Aim at the Elephant in the Room: Why Republicans Should be Nervous
Last week, President Trump begrudgingly signed into law a $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill that runs out in September. The Republican-controlled Congress sent the president a bill that rightfully increases support for the U.S. military but doesn’t offset spending and, thus, increases our national debt by at least $1 trillion. The American public has little […]
Save the Last Dance for … Political Correctness?
Sorry, young ladies in Staten Island, but because father-daughter dances are triggering and scary, you won’t be able to have a special night with your dad. The New York Department of Education passed a policy last spring that demanded schools scrap any “gender-based” activities that do not serve an educational purpose. Apparently the father-daughter dance […]
Passing Tax Reforms Will Benefit America’s Working Families
As an organization with a long history of advocating for working families, we are pleased to see that Congress is on the verge of passing comprehensive tax reform legislation. Reform is long overdue and will benefit all Americans. With Senate and House leadership negotiating what will ultimately be included in a final tax reform package, we […]
Sexual Assault: A Free Pass for Congress?
Another one bites the dust – this time, “Today Show” host Matt Lauer, whose firing for “inappropriate sexual behavior” in the workplace was announced Wednesday morning. This comes only a week after rival morning show host Charlie Rose of CBS was fired for the same thing. News reports indicate this is merely the beginning for women who […]
This Is Why Liberal Women Are So Angry
Watching the pitiful story of Harvey Weinstein unfold has been horrifying. The raw power the man wielded over those whom he had authority was surreal. The very fact that he sexually assaulted and possibly raped dozens and dozens of women over decades is almost unbelievable, but the reports surfacing all over the place claim that Weinstein’s actions […]
Undocumented pregnant teen seeking an abortion in Texas could set new legal precedents
A court case bubbling up in Texas could have huge ramifications on both immigration and abortion in our nation. A 17-year-old was caught crossing the United States-Mexican border and was transferred, as is normal procedure, to the Office of Refugee Resettlement under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. They took custody of the […]
The Harvey Weinstein Scandal: Why Are So-Called Feminists Defending This Creep?
Harvey Weinstein should go sign up for the dating website OkCupid and make sure he gets that pink ribbon on his profile, branding him a feminist and supporter of Planned Parenthood. The media mogul is the ultimate bro-choicer, an adoring donor to the Democratic Party, defended by some of the left’s most powerful women. Weinstein […]
Yes, Hugh Hefner was a pioneer — in the objectification of women and the lie of the Playboy lifestyle
While many in the press are hailing Hugh Hefner as a pioneer in his day — championing abortion rights and breaking the shackles of an oppressive sexual culture — the man represented a lifestyle and business that was in no way, shape, or form helpful to women. It is no surprise celebrities are tripping over […]
Planned Parenthood hooks up with OkCupid. Guess what this cynical partnership is really about?
It’s about time that Planned Parenthood got involved in the dating market. They have already reaped the benefits of profiting off of the sex toy industry, the genitalia-designed candy industry, and, of course, they make boatloads of money every year as the abortion industry’s leading provider. They have been missing out for years by not […]
Let the Dogma Live Loudly
There are many issues on which Congress needs to quickly act – spending, disaster relief, the debt ceiling, health care, taxes – yet one key issue that bubbles under the surface is the long-term concern of nominating and confirming judges to federal benches. While many groups unfairly demand litmus tests for judges, one senator recently […]
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. […]
