The girl-boss is dead. Long live the tradwife! The popularity of the tradwife movement proved that women still crave a meaningful vision for their life rooted in home and family--but what does this look like in our technological age? Coming Spring 2026 :)
“With in-utero repair, we can rewrite a child’s future before they even take their first breath”
In a historic first for Indiana, Riley Children’s Health has performed the state’s first successful fetal repair of myelomeningocele — a severe form of spina bifida. fox59.com/indiana-news/i…
Yeah, it would be totally reasonable for Title X to also cover PCOS screening and treatment, endo surgery, etc. Low income women can struggle to achieve pregnancy as well as struggle to avoid it.
If *family planning* means "helping people plan when to have a family," it should absolutely be interpreted as covering services that help people struggling with infertility.
How it started (2022) ✨ vs How it’s going (2025) ♥️ ♥️ Love God. Get married. Have kids.
How many times is this going to happen until we rethink commercial surrogacy?
One of the men in the “surrogacy journey” video that went viral on X, is a registered child s*x offender, according to Reduxx. Logan Riley and Brandon Mitchell went viral over the weekend after a video was shared of them showcasing their crowdfunded surrogacy baby. Reduxx is…
Incredible thread with @grok diving into child well-being in same sex homes 👇
Hey @grok give us outcomes for children raised by same-sex parents using only studies that included random participants (not recruited/volunteer) and the actual outcomes of children not self-reporting of parents.
When Betsy tries to say “Cordelia,” it comes out as “Kor-EEE-ah.” It’s adorable — but also a sad reminder. In South Korea, for every 100 people today, only ~7 grandchildren will be born. That’s not just a stat — it means fewer Koreans will know the indescribable joy of children.
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-…

Hunter Biden: "People are really upset about illegal immigration? Fuck you. How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned?” This sums up the attitude of the left in America: elitist, pro-servitude hatred cloaked in fake empathy.
This is absolutely true. Our thoughts often *become* clear by writing and editing. That's why it's a mistake to put off writing until your thoughts become clear.
Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.
At 12 weeks pregnant, Lucy Isaac was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She was too far along for standard surgery—but doctors couldn’t wait to treat her. So they did the extraordinary: removed her entire uterus with her baby still inside, treated the cancer, then placed the uterus…
IVF is a $10 billion industry. It’s grueling, often unsuccessful—and controversial. @MadeleineKearns found another way: a clinic that aims to restore fertility instead of replacing it in a lab. thefp.com/p/what-i-went-…
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-…
Tremendous piece of reporting from @madeleinekearns on unexplained infertility, and how the American medical system routinely ignores or masks women’s symptoms making pregnancy even harder. For women who’ve been diagnosed with infertility who can’t or refuse to follow the…

Unexplained infertility should be a diagnosis of the past. Women and men deserve better care and the opportunity to have the babies they desire and heal their bodies. Congratulations, @madeleinekearns on new motherhood and an excellent piece 🥹 thefp.com/p/what-i-went-…
When I got to the FDA, I was shocked to learn that we had been allowing Americans’ living cells to be shipped to labs in China for gene editing before being shipped back and infused into Americans – sometimes without the patients even knowing.
