In a courageous and profoundly personal speech on the floor of the U.S. House, Rep. Nancy Mace, R-South Carolina, did what so many women fear to do—she named names, exposed injustices and testified to the truth that shaped her life.
Standing firm in faith and conviction, she shared her harrowing experience of uncovering and revealing heinous crimes against women, all while drawing her strength from God and Scripture. It was hard to listen to and even harder to absorb the reality of her story.

Her testimony is not just one of personal survival—even as a member of Congress; it is a testament as to why so many women, particularly Christian women, engage in pro-family advocacy. We do this work not from abstract idealism but because many of us have lived through pain, injustice and adversity, and we believe we must step into our God-given calling to defend those who cannot defend themselves.
“As a woman of faith, I draw strength from the teachings of Jesus Christ, in that Christ confronted injustice wherever He saw it,” Mace said. “But also, the Bible reminds us that forgiveness does not forfeit justice.”
These words display the essence of why women of faith are often on the front lines of the fight to uphold conservative values: We know firsthand the cost of silence and the necessity of action.
It is no secret that women are leading the charge in pro-family policy. Contrary to media narratives that portray conservative women as mere passive players in policy debates, the truth is that many of us are active precisely because of our personal stories. We know the sting of exploitation, the family pain of abortion and the tragic impact of divorce on families. Like Mace, we are not bystanders; we are warriors for justice, guided by faith and conviction.
