How to Retake Ground for Life

We want to introduce you to a powerful young voice in the abortion conversation. Riley Acre helps lead an important organization, Voices for the Voiceless. Their messaging is fresh and gets right to the heart of the confusion that often motivates women to decide on abortion. It’s a new message of hope and empowerment reframing motherhood as a “pathway to success”, and ensuring “no one faces unplanned pregnancy alone”.

How Abortion Hurts Women

How Abortion Hurts Women

Women deserve to know all the facts, without emotional manipulation, on any important subject. Period. To withhold information from women, or to emotionalize hard medical facts, is not only insulting to women, but blatantly misogynistic. Women are smart enough to make sound decisions if we’re informed.

But we’re not informed. We’re not told the whole truth about abortion--about our bodies, and about our babies, how abortion affects our present and our future. This should anger every woman on both sides of the argument. We deserve to be informed!

Why is the Family “the Most Desperate Battlefield”? 
Guest Blogger Guest Blogger

Why is the Family “the Most Desperate Battlefield”? 

Why is it that almost every area of cultural insanity seems like a sniper’s bullet aimed right at the heart of FAMILY? … Schools pushing gender confusion and racial division, while keeping parents unaware. Medical policies severing parent’s rights to protect and guide their children. Welfare incentives promoting fatherless homes. The ‘choice industry’ making billions, lying to women that they’ll be better off simply ‘erasing’ their unborn child. And governments making it harder for faith-centered agencies to place adoptions and foster kids into traditional, intact families. 

The reason is, strong families are a threat to those who want control.

Why Lincoln Gave Thanks During War, and Why It’s Powerful Today?

Why Lincoln Gave Thanks During War, and Why It’s Powerful Today? 

President Abraham Lincoln chose to establish a Day of Thanksgiving--even as he was watching the bloodiest war in U.S. history. Was he crazy? Or did he know something powerful that transcends what we can see with our eyes?

In the fall of 1863, Americans were brutally divided at the height of the Civil War. What would you do as President? Most politicians today would check the polls. Speech-writers would craft their spin. And the media would censor the news that gets in the way.

Financial Sense for Strong Families

Financial Sense for Strong Families

Wouldn’t it be great if all of us—especially our kids and grandkids--had a solid understanding of basic financial principles like creating and living within a budget, how to plan for retirement, how to fund college, or how much to withhold for income taxes? The need for government assistance and bailouts would be drastically smaller, and our communities would be stronger if they used the tools available to navigate their own financial well-being.   

Those who are financially literate have great advantages. But anybody can have them! They just need to access to the tools and support that give them stability and opportunity for themselves and their families.

Counterculture, Gen-Z, Arizona Girl Stands for Femininity & Life

Counterculture, Gen-Z, Arizona Girl Stands for Femininity & Life 

Being a counter-culture feminist in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s meant pushing abortion, unrestrained sexuality, and singleness. For many young women today, being counterculture means longing for a more traditional view of femininity, including marriage and motherhood.

For those of us promoting the cause of life for many years, it’s important to hear how younger generations view these issues. In this blog, hear from Eden Vandenboom, a high school senior, honor student, award-winning writer and speaker. She also volunteers time educating girls her age about the sanctity of life and the dangers of abortion.

City Planners Want to Change Your Family Life

City Planners Want to Change Your Family Life 

Now that fall is here, we’re happy to walk or ride bikes to local businesses. But mayors and city planners across the state are quietly setting the stage so eventually you’ll be forced to rearrange your life entirely—walking or biking to work, school, sports and errands—even in the middle of July! Or the alternative is paying fees for the ‘privilege’ to drive your car. Is this fair? Is there valid reasoning? How will this affect your every day?

Profile of a Perfect (Even a Reluctant) Woman of Action! 

Can you list more than a few worthy reasons you’re frustrated with your government, your workplace, or your kids’ schools?... Now can you list any truly worthy reasons why you can’t do something to fix them? If we’re honest, you can do SOMETHING in at least ONE area that bugs you. And it would, indeed make at least a small, but significant, difference!

We’re inspired by so many of you Arizona Women of Action!! This week we asked Alison Klotnia (a busy woman probably like you) to tell us WHY she got fired up and decided to take on her local school district. How did she figure it out? What were the hurdles? And how did she feel when her battle plan came together?

Will Arizonans Talk About ‘Transing’ Children?

Will Arizonans Talk About ‘Transing’ Children? 

Ask yourself, just five years ago were many people talking about transsexualization, as it was commonly called then? Now with media and corporate messaging, you’d think half the population suffers from ‘gender dysphoria’. Serious science reveals this is NOT biological, but rather a social trend, and often a political and marketing campaign. 

But it’s too serious to be dismissed as a fad. This social contagion, the ‘transing’--especially of children—is destroying their bodies, causing chemical and surgical castration, life-long dependence on drugs, and emotional and mental breakdown. Not to mention the devastation being done to families.

Saving Women's Sports: A Coach's Perspective

In Arizona Women of Action’s defense of all the girl and women athletes, it’s important to hear from the coaches. Coach Carrie also wants to defend female sports, and she shares her experience this week in our blog. Thank you, Coach! ~ Kim

My name is Carrie Cox and I am a retired high school coach. I had the awesome honor to be inducted in the Athletic Hall of Fame at Victor J. Andrew High School in Tinley Park, Illinois, the school I taught at for 35 years. I now live in Scottsdale and I am the 1st Vice Chair for GOP Legislative District 3.

At my induction ceremony, there were retired coaches, current coaches, the Athletic Director, school administrators, Principal, school board members and the District Superintendent. After the ceremony, many current coaches reached out to me to say thank you for having the courage to address this issue and speak for what they are feeling. I’ve been asked to share my speech and am grateful for groups like Arizona Women of Action that can share my story….Enjoy!

 Know the Truth: Guarding Kids’ Innocence is NOT Banning Books 

There’s a lot of shockingly inappropriate material being pushed on kids—and I’m not referring to online porn or apps. It’s shocking because of who is disseminating it— those institutions we used to trust: schools and public libraries. 

Of course, this is a complex and nuanced topic requiring wisdom and discretion. We must ultimately guard our precious children, but also our freedom of speech. Thankfully we have the benefit of hours of research by our Senior Advisor, Adrienne Johnson! She shares what’s really going on with libraries, as well as useful links for resources and ways to contact public officials. This blog is a WEALTH of information. Let’s take our libraries back for everyone—to lift up knowledge, wonder and creativity, and stop the degradation. ~ Kim

School ‘Bonds & Overrides’- Helpful, Harmful or Wasteful?

We all want good schools that serve kids and families, but what do we make of the regular requests for more money through bonds and overrides (B&O)? Where’s the money going? What happened to the money from the last election? Are kids learning more? Is there accountability from the school district to the parents and citizens? Am I helping or harming the kids at my neighborhood schools when I vote to pay more of my taxes to their administrators? 

We’re glad to have Matt Beienburg, Education Director from Goldwater Institute as our guest blogger this week! Matt explains the what Arizonans are funding so we can be informed voters. … Please read and share this blog. ~ Kim

ASU Allows Karl Marx But Not Uncle Sam

Ann Atkinson wrote our guest blog last week about ASU limiting free speech on their campus. One group was harassed and libeled by Barrett Honors faculty for a ‘Health, Wealth & Happiness’ event with Dennis Prager and Charlie Kirk. ASU ultimately dismantled the entire T.W. Lewis Center of Personal Development for daring to spread such ‘dangerous ideas’.

Two days later, AZWOA posted a clip of an ASU Student promoting the Socialist Revolution club (Yes, it is an actual ASU-approved club).
