ORWELLIAN: New York Democrats Pass Legislation That Changes the Word ‘Mother’ to ‘Gestating Parent’ New York Democrats have passed legislation that redefines parental terms in state law, changing ‘mother’ to ‘gestating parent’ and ‘father’ to ‘non-gestating parent.’ This bill, aimed at promoting inclusivity for LGBT and non-traditional families, has now moved to Governor Kathy Hochul’s desk for approval. Critics argue the change is unnecessary and strips humanity from traditional terms.
