By 5am, Emma Waters is already plotting America's baby-making future. A self-proclaimed monk of productivity and a Bible thumper, her days are filled with emails, motherhood, and policy-making. Her daughters, Gertie and Ophelia, run around in white tights, while Jack, her preacher-husband, flits in and out. Waters works from a dreary Pennsylvania suburb, crafting op-eds on the harms of unregulated reproductive technology. She's behind recent bans on international surrogacy and is a mastermind in political strategy.

Waters' story is a mix of the millennial and the Christian conservative. Homeschooled in a poor rural part of Georgia, she found her political voice after hearing JD Vance. Her rise in conservative circles has been meteoric, from an internship at American Moment to a full-time job, and eventually to the Heritage Foundation. Her political views are a blend of Christian values and right-wing ideology, all while battling the $10 billion fertility industry.

Waters' work is not just about policy, but also about optics and politics. She wants to dismantle the current fertility landscape, but does so politely, during nap times, with her husband's permission. The question remains: will her efforts lead to a tech-free utopia or just another chapter in the ongoing debate about the future of parenthood?
