Is Your Doctor Trying to Buy Their Third Home in Your Uterus?

I got this TikTok in my DMs. Twice.
That usually means something awful has happened, alas, here we are.

The video describes a woman visiting VA Urgent Care for an unrelated issue describes being asked two unexpected questions during intake:

“Is there anything in your body that physically prevents you from having a child?”
“Is your body physically able to have children?”

Basic intake questions, they said.
But these aren’t questions. They are information scraping. They are interrogation tactics.
And one starts to wonder: Are we tracking inventory now?

Can you breed, woman?
That’s what they’re really asking.
Because apparently, your fertility is now a quantifiable asset. A line item in someone’s federal spreadsheet. A valuation check before treatment begins.

In the TikTok, now viral, the comments section exploded. Thousands of women said, “this happened to me too.” Nurses weighed in, claiming “you can decline to answer.”


Really? Can you decline the Terms and Conditions of state-sponsored care?
You can, but will you still get the treatment you may need?

Best-case, you’re labeled “difficult” or “non-compliant.”
Worst-case? You are simply refused care.
Because in Gilead, refusal is resistance. And resistance gets you put on the wall. And they are really obsessed about building one.

But here is a thought experiment, let’s zoom out.

Let’s put the pants on the other butt for a second and imagine:

A man walks into urgent care with a sprained ankle.
The nurse asks him to get an erection, you know, just to confirm he’s still viable.
Sound absurd?


That’s how absurd this is right now for a human who happens to be able to create life inside themselves.

So where is this taking us? What is the end game?
What are we becoming by normalizing fertility audits at intake?
If the uterus is up for valuation, what else are we going to be pricing?

And here’s a question no one wants to ask: Has America ever done this before? The short answer…yes. How do I know? Because it has happened in the past. Did you know that South Carolina had breeding farms for humans? As Isabel Wilkerson noted in Caste, “the forced reproduction of enslaved people wasn’t just cruelty, it was policy. The uterus as economic engine. The black body as breeding stock.”

“We’ve done this before folks. Our teachers just weren’t saying it out loud.”

So, before any suburban wine-mom keyboard clacks out a ‘but this isn’t about me’ let’s be clear: Project 2025 isn’t just targeting immigrants or just poor women of color.

It wants “white babies”. Lots of them. Government-encouraged, state-prioritized, morally-superior, God-and-country-assigned white births. And the way things look at present, it doesn’t seem they care too awful much how they get them here either.

This isn’t a drill. 


Let’s decide not to look away.
Let’s decide this is not okay.
And when they ask you —
What will you say?
