"Her uterus needs to be confiscated."

It's clearly making her hysterical.

hysteria
[mod. medical L., formed as abstract n. to hysteric. Cf. F. hystérie (1812 in Hatz.-Darm.).]
1. Path. A functional disturbance of the nervous system, characterized by such disorders as anæsthesia, hyperæsthesia, convulsions, etc., and usually attended with emotional disturbances and enfeeblement or perversion of the moral and intellectual faculties. (Also called colloquially hysterics.)
Women being much more liable than men to this disorder, it was originally thought to be due to a disturbance of the uterus and its functions: cf. hysteric and the Ger. term mutterweh. Former names for the disease were vapours and hysteric(al) passion.
