Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted on Instagram this month showing herself injecting hormones as part of freezing her eggs, telling followers she'd juggle another round of shots with an ABC News appearance. Separately, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on X that she is leaving her post to spend more time with her two young children after the birth of her daughter.

A Review-Journal columnist used these two unrelated personal decisions by two women to construct a referendum on modern womanhood, casting one as feminist dogma and the other as traditional virtue. The column argues society should 'nudge' young women toward Leavitt's path, citing happiness research and declining fertility rates after 30.

The piece closes by urging readers with daughters or granddaughters to encourage them to imitate Leavitt rather than AOC, treating two women's unconnected career and family choices as a binary referendum on the nation's future.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
Two women making different personal decisions about their own bodies and careers is not actually a referendum on Western civilization, no matter how badly a column needs a thesis. Neither AOC nor Leavitt asked to be cast as avatars in someone else's culture-war fertility chart. The confidence with which strangers assign meaning to other women's uteruses remains the most renewable resource in opinion journalism.
