An absolute honor to launch my Novak Fellowship project last night at the @TFASorg Journalism Awards Dinner. It’s called Technically Human: The End & Future of Emerging Reproductive Biotechnologies. Excited to begin a yearlong probe into reprotech & what it means to be human.

Are you paying attention yet? Young women are sick of being fed a pill that warps our bodies. But the headlines will, once again, inform us that we’re misinformed.
Americans’ openness to using birth control plummeted over the last year, according to Gallup’s annual poll on moral issues.

I wrote about why I’ll never use birth control for @realDailyWire, and how those telling us we’re falling prey to misinformation are missing a gigantic chance to transform women’s healthcare into something that actually promotes our health. The pill doesn’t.

“There is no quarter of the globe so desireable as America, no state in America so desireable as Virginia, no county in Virginia equal to Albemarle & no spot in Albemarle to compare to Monticello.” Thomas Jefferson, May 30, 1795
It’s easy to see why. Today, in Albemarle County.
“America, an immense Territory, favour’d by Nature with all Advantages of Climate, Soil, great navigable Rivers and Lakes must become a great Country, populous and mighty.” — Benjamin Franklin

How awesome would it be if we had an American state olympics? State competes against state for medals in various competitions. Opening ceremony w/ a parade of states, athletes in gear representing Tennessee, Alaska, Connecticut, Arizona, etc. Why didn’t we do this for the 250th

Sarah Ruden calls legal protections for the unborn “reproductive violence.” What, then, is the forcible ripping of a baby limb from limb on the way out of the mother’s womb?
This is the moral flattening of language.
If our nation’s most highly-educated citizens are learning and teaching false histories, like Sarah Ruden does in her new book Reproductive Wrongs, we can kiss our 250-year old nation goodbye before long. Read my review in @NRO.

“We can no longer say ‘good’ and ‘bad’ and mean the same thing. In fact, there is no longer a shared moral system by which we could adjudicate those terms—not if we keep the Western world but dispense with the Christianity that made it. ”

It is so frustrating that this kind of slop continues to get rewarded in academia.

Ruden studied at the University of Michigan, Johns Hopkins, and Harvard. She was a research fellow at Yale Divinity School and a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Doesn’t get much more educated than that. So why is her “history” so wrong?

"I wondered: Is there another time or place in which Ruden, as a woman, would have preferred to have existed than in 21st-century America? Do Eastern traditions, for example, offer better protections for women?"
The spiciest take I’ve ever written, for the worst book I’ve ever read. My first for National Review. @NRO

One of the many historical inaccuracies in Reproductive Wrongs is the idea that the United States is an authoritarian nation. Newsflash: it’s not.

“It isn’t Westernization that has caused the ‘present American political crisis’ but secularization; not a propagandistic wielding of terms but a complete moral flattening of them. What does justice look like for women? What does justice look like for their unborn children? If it’s justice that Ruden wants, as do I, there’s one way to get it—and it’s not in the ‘fight for reproductive freedom’: it’s in the re-Christianization of the United States.”

Shut it all down. Ban surrogacy now.
SCOOP: The State Department has uncovered several "birth tourism networks" in West Africa, Europe, and North Africa, where embassies found evidence of plans to facilitate individuals traveling to the U.S. to give birth.
