Concerned Women for America

The Concerned Women for America (CWA or CWfA) are a group of right wing radicals opposed to anything that is too sympathetic toward, or even remotely related to, homosexuality. Sounding like a parody of the Junior Anti-Sex League in George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984, their pronouncements complain about a "sex-saturated culture."

Concerned Women for America could use some help. Please research the article's assertions. Whatever is credible should be sourced, and what is not should be removed.

Founded by Beverly LaHaye (widow of Left Behind author Tim LaHaye), they have openly attacked freedom of choice, Muslims and pretty much anyone who isn't American, Christian, male, and heterosexual. [1]

Good, good… Let the hate flow through you

CWA has displayed opposition to almost all women's rights, including equal pay, abortion, and maternity leave (unless you're leaving the workforce forever to go be a homemaker, of course), earning it the derogatory title "Ladies against Women" in feminist circles.[note 1]

They have stated that publicly funded HIV screening and publicly funded STD treatment are objectionable programs. [2]

Another one of their favorite issues is pushing religion and pseudoscience in public schools, including school prayer and Intelligent Design.

Their anti-gay myth-spreading, such as equating homosexuality with pedophilia and downplaying the number of homophobic hate crimes, has resulted in their being labelled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.[3]

It is feared that there are at least 250,000 of them.

gollark: It randomly does different things depending on `/` presence, `root` and `alias` are separate slightly confusing things for some reason, and the only code reuse mechanism is `include`.
gollark: Nginx's configuration manages to be impressively incomprehensible despite its relatively clean syntax.
gollark: My ideal protocol would probably be something like IRC but with globally shared, cryptographically validated identity, modern things like the Discord guild/channel model, reactions, serverside history, and file upload, and standardized "bouncer" capabilities.
gollark: Oh, *that*.
