ORWELLIAN: New York Democrats Pass Legislation That Changes the Word ‘Mother’ to ‘Gestating Parent’

Democrats in the New York legislature have just passed a bill related to child custody laws that changes words like ‘mother and father’ to ‘gestating parent’ and ‘non-gestating parent.’

They claim this is necessary because of LGBT parents and other non-traditional couples.

It’s beyond George Orwell. Language like this sucks all the humanity out of important words, and it almost seems like that is the goal.

Governor Kathy Hochul has not yet said whether she will sign this into law.

Bill replacing ‘mother’ and ‘father’ with gender-neutral terms passes in New York, heads to Hochul’s desk

New York Democrats recently passed a bill that would remove the words “mother” and “father” from parts of state law, sending the legislation to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk for final approval.

Under the new bill, targeting state child custody and parental laws, “mother” becomes “gestating parent,” “father” becomes “non-gestating parent,” and “paternity” becomes “parentage.”

It passed in the state Senate this week after progressing through the Assembly in March.

Democrats who drafted the legislation claimed the wording shift would promote “inclusivity,” while critics claim the change is unnecessary, with the legislative session having ended for the year on Thursday, FOX 5 New York reported.

Hochul said during a news conference that she isn’t familiar with the proposal, but promised to review it.

“I have until the end of the year to review them and make a decision, so I won’t be commenting on pending legislation,” Hochul said.

Total madness.

Democrats NY have passed a bill changing terms such as "mother" and "father" to "gestating parent" and "non-gestating parent."

It will now head to Gov Kathy Hochul to be signed into law.

Why does the social structure and language we have used since the beginning of civilization have to be changed to accommodate such a tiny percentage of the population?

Kathy Hochul is a mother herself. Will she really sign a law that turns her into nothing more than the gestating parent?
