Sadly, this is all too common. “For every 100 positive tests, usually conducted in the first trimester, 85 to 95 women receive a devastating diagnosis for their baby and are counseled on abortion—when their babies are actually perfectly healthy.” Something has to change.
This piece is absolutely infuriating, damning, and in a just world would lead to much more education and caution about relying on pre-natal testing for decisions about life and death
“I had what’s known as a selective hysterosalpingogram—where Dr. Puthoff fed a small wire through each of my fallopian tubes, one by one, to check for blockages. Sometimes this procedure, which can dislodge mucus or debris, is the only intervention a patient needs to get pregnant…
I do procedures most OBGYNs don’t know exist every day. Tubal corrective surgeries like selective HSG with tubal cannulation, laser excision of endometriosis, fimbrioplasty. These were invented AFTER IVF and are more advanced in my opinion with better safety profiles and…
Excited to see @AnnaKateShelt in this group!
We are very excited to announce the next class of Robert Novak Journalism Fellows at @TFASorg! These seven journalists will spend one year researching and providing in-depth reporting on their chosen topics surrounding the principles of a free society.
Honored to announce I’ve been selected for the Novak Journalism Fellowship. My project—Industrial Policy with American Characteristics—will comprise research, regional reporting, and a series of essays on the country’s advanced manufacturing drive. I’ll spend a lot of time in…
Every woman must read this. Every man, too. I was very redpilled by pregnancy. I learned how little care and attention goes into women’s reproductive health. Madeleine outlines here how that same approach is the case while women are trying to conceive.
My last piece before maternity leave is about my journey to motherhood—and the journeys of other women for whom the road to pregnancy is far from straightforward. thefp.com/p/what-i-went-…
Since I have nowhere else to mention it, I just want to say that Ed Feulner once absolutely roasted me in an email thread for gratuitously invoking the Overton Window: "Overton Window?? Yes, a few of us geeks know what this is, and some of us even knew Joe Overton" 🔥 😅🤣
There's a lot of good ink on the late, great giant of the conservative movement, Ed Feulner, so we've rounded some of our favorites up in a single post.
Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM) is better than IVF in every way: it’s more effective, cheaper, healthier, and preferable to couples. RRM is the way forward for real women’s health gains.
I will never shut up about this. This is real women’s healthcare. Read the whole, amazing thing here: @madeleinekearns @TheFP thefp.com/p/what-i-went-…
Nope
We’re going to make Baby Grok @xAI, an app dedicated to kid-friendly content
Maddy is on maternity leave right now because she went to a place that genuinely cares about women as women (rather than as defective men). Women should not have to travel 1000 miles to get such care...but they do. Because easier and more money comes from doing something else.
A thousand miles from New York City, the place @MadeleineKearns call home, there’s a clinic that vows to help women with ‘unexplained infertility.’ She traveled there last year, in her quest to become a mother. thefp.com/p/what-i-went-…
This is the best piece I’ve ever seen written on my life’s work. THANK YOU for speaking for all of my patients everywhere and all women and couples who are yearning for true healing! Comprehensive reproductive & fertility care like this is NOT yet widely accessible, but with…

University of Tulsa students have started a petition to save their Honors College and have asked me to share with my followers here. If you are inclined to support these students in their goal to recover what was lost, you can sign here: change.org/Protect_UTulsa…
He is 65, she is 38. They had 21 children, 15 under 3 years old. Several women served as surrogates simultaneously. This was all perfectly legal. There's no amount of regulation that makes surrogacy safe for children. It just needs to be banned. nypost.com/2025/07/18/us-…
Aging is also a natural biological state (for everyone) which permanently changes bodies. If you see women’s fertility as a problem with women, your feminism sees women as defective men (and aims to help them be better men)
If pregnancy was a natural biological state for women it wouldn’t permanently change our bodies. I fucking HATE this pro-natalist bullshit. (And no, we’re not burdens on our employers but pregnancy and childbirth is a burden to women)
One way motherhood really changed my thinking: I often felt vulnerable while pregnant but not visibly so & suddenly I very much wanted the traditional social graces afforded to women as a whole - like a seat on hot public transit - but many times it was never offered.
