Changes

IWF announced the launch of a law center to "advocate [..] for equal opportunity, individual liberty, and freedom of association" and "push back against attempts to convince the public that constitutionalist, originalist judges are a threat to women's rights." The "Independent Women's Law Center" (IWLC) is lead by Jennifer C. Braceras and Erin Hawley.<ref>PR Newswire [https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/iwf-launches-independent-womens-law-center-300927092.html IWF Launches Independent Women's Law Center] IWF Press Release, Sept. 30, 2019</ref> Hawley is IWLC's senior legal fellow, a former clerk to Chief Justice [[John G. Roberts, Jr.]], and senior fellow at the University of Missouri's [[Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy]]. Baracus is the director of IWLC, former Staff Assistant in the Office of Vice President Dan Quayle and former law clerk to conservative judges.<ref>IWF [http://iwf.org/about About] organization website, accessed Oct 2. 2019</ref> In a promotional video, IWLC claims that "left-leaning feminist groups" are attempting to "politicize the federal judiciary" by "smearing" conservative justices, such as [[Robert Bork]], Justices [[Clarence Thomas]] and [[Brett Kavanaugh]]. In the video, IWLC declares itself a "voice" for women who "support the nomination of justices who will stay in their constitutionally prescribed lanes." Additionally, IWLC says it was launched in light of renewed calls for judicial reform and the abolition of the electoral college.<ref>IWF [http://iwf.org/blog/2810700/Video:-Introducing-Independent-Women's-Law-Center Introducing IWLC] organizational site, accessed Oct 2. 2019</ref>

====Tobacco Industry====

Over the years IWF has received funding from [[Altria]], [[Phillip Morris International]], and vaping giant [[Juul]]. Without disclosing its its tobacco funding, IWF has defended the vaping industry using Juul's own talking points.
