Snopes says this is true:
New York lawmakers passed a bill changing the words "mother" and "father" to "gestating parent" and "non-gestating parent" in parts of state law.
The reasons given do not even make any sense.
Under the updated text, "gestating parent" refers to a person who carries and gives birth to a child, while a "non-gestating parent" does not — such as the father or the non-carrying woman in a lesbian relationship. While parents share a legal bond with their children, they do not always share a biological one, as seen in cases of surrogacy or adoption.
We have had child adoption for centuries, so there is nothing new about parents not having a biological bond.
Furthermore, in the case of surrogacy, the gestating parent is the pregnant surrogate, and not the legal parent.
If there is no mother or father, I guess the problem is entirely solved, since there can't be a child either then. I wait with bated breath for liberals to determine themselves to not be human anymore, since that is discriminatory towards unspecified alien life forms.
ReplyDeleteWord games. Liberals love pointless word games that confuse people into madness and compliance.
