- *Correction: Italy passes a pro-family law that protects the maternal bond and ensures children aren’t commercially separated from their biological mother 💕 All forms of surrogacy, even when traveling abroad, are now prohibited for Italian citizens.
- “I only wanted you because you were a girl and the right kind of healthy. I destroyed the other 19 human embryos that your father and I created.” Don’t worry, it’s “not eugenics,” it’s only science.
- Replying to @AllumBokhariWell, “Christians” It’s a “non-profit funded primarily by anonymous donors.” We have no idea who these folks are tbh. I vote Soros-funded op
- The same forces that made us too materialistic to have kids are now promising us designer babies through embryo selection. Don’t be fooled—this is not a solution to the birth rate crisis. It’s the next stage of the problem. 🧵🪡
- Under the Romney Family Security Act 2.0, Brooke and Billy would be eligible to receive $700 per month to care for their twin daughters. A pro-Life America is a pro-family America.
- America is hurtling towards a demographic disaster. Our birth rates have been declining for decades. In 2023, they hit an all-time record low. President Trump ran on a "new baby boom." This week, the New York Times covered the plan to help deliver it. A few takeaways. 🧵
- In no uncertain language, this morning the Pope called to abolish all forms of surrogacy!
- I’m 39 weeks pregnant and nearing final exams/papers in my MPP at @CatholicUniv. I’m beyond grateful for a pro-family program that offered, even before I asked, to work with me to ensure I had the support and flexibility I needed to care for my child and succeed academically.Georgetown Law has told a pregnant student whose baby is due during exams that she must take the test a few days postpartum, with baby in tow. No early or remote exam since “it would be inequitable to all the other non-birthing students in her class.” docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
- And while you're at it, this too: "Dr. Roberts, I just want to thank you for your words today, for your courage, for your leadership. It has never been more apparent to me that you are the right man for this job. You have the courage, you have the godly character and you have

00:36Now that this month's all staff meeting has been leaked, I hope the so-called journalists report on this part, too. - If your grandparents had relied on embryonic genetic screening for your mother, you wouldn’t be here. I’m glad they didn’t.When I was in elementary school, my mom started going blind. Retinitis pigmentosa. No family history. No treatments. No cure. I got lucky. She didn’t. It led me to build @OrchidInc so my baby —and everyone else's—gets to win the genetic lottery—avoid blindness— and hundreds of
- Replying to @emlwatersThe solution isn't just more babies. It's more FAMILIES. Birthrates for married couples have actually been mostly stable since the 1990s. (Save for a modest decrease from 2016-2020). The birthrate collapse is driven not just by fewer kids per marriage, but by fewer marriages.
- 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 :)
