The right-wing think tank behind Project 2025 is now crafting new policy suggestions, including an incentive for married couples to have more children, according to a report.

Following its controversial 900-page blueprint for President Donald Trump’s second term, the Heritage Foundation is now drafting a new position paper that includes calls for a “Manhattan Project to restore the nuclear family,” referring to the program to develop the first nuclear weapons, the Washington Post reported.

The forthcoming paper, titled “We Must Save the American Family,” reportedly urges the government to pour funds into individual families rather than child care programs, like Head Start, according to the Post.

The Heritage Foundation is also urging the president to issue orders that require all proposed policies to “measure their positive or negative impacts on marriage and family.” If a program scores poorly, it should be revamped, according to the Post.

“For family policy to succeed, old orthodoxies must be re-examined and innovative approaches embraced, but more than that, we need to mobilize a nation to meet this moment,” the paper reportedly reads.

    Please be warned if you are capable of having children…

    DO NOT USE PERIOD TRACKERS!! Hide that info in your usual calendar or notes. Do not have it anywhere others can see or access it.

    And with RFK (a pro-natalist movement advocate) pushing wearable technologies I’d be cautious about using the more advanced ones. We know from public records the FBI and local departments have back door access to iPhones and androids. If your activity drastically changes, or heart rate changes more than 2% while on your period. They can and probably will know when you should be having your period.

      “Everybody needs to be wearing a fitness tracker by x date was concerning enough already,” but that conversation between Xi and Putin brings this all to a whole other level.

      They’re not just trying to control us and exploit us financially and for our labor anymore. These psychotic global oligarchs obsessed with immortality, organ transplants, and birth rates literally want to start exploiting (not just controlling) literally exploiting our bodies for parts. Like wtf?!

      If you’re able to get sterilized (and obviously want to) please do it. It was less work than I thought it would be (with the proper planning) and it’s a huge weight I don’t have to worry about any more.
