So it did. It also mentions: "Black birthing people are three to four times more likely to experience pregnancy-related death than their white counterparts, and they experience higher rates of pregnancy complications, infant loss, and miscarriage across the board."
But using an inclusive term for people who give birth, in the context of a bill called 'The Healthy Mommies Act,' and nothing particularly to do with mother's day is the important take-away.
(And, by the way, at least one person with XY chromosomes has given birth, so is there a genetic test for male/female?)
What do you think of "Black birthing people are three to four times more likely to experience pregnancy-related death than their white counterparts"? Would you support legislation to try to help those women?
That was just the first example I came across, and the point was that there's no clear line where all people on one side are male, and the others are female.
Regardless, why don't you show me one case of anybody actually demanding that name change?
So, Cori Bush used the term "Birthing people", so do NARAL, but the idea that that means they want to rename mothers' day is a right-wing fever dream. This week's "War On Christmas", to keep people distracted from the real issues.
Any calls for "Birthing people's day" since the right latched onto it are probably just trolling.
CIS-gender. I have actually lived to see the day where people are pushing the idea that the former Soviet countries have their own genders.
I think this makes it official; Allen Funt never actually died, but set us all up for the single greatest episode of Candid Camera humanity has ever seen.
A bit silly, and stupid, unless you are estranged from your mother like my daughters are (they haven't seen or heard from her in years, her choice and not mine). But since I'm sure the leftists aren't going on about that, so yeah it's insane
Nah, a person can only have one biological mother unless you are a test tube baby or cloned. The rest are just caretakers, step mothers, or foster parents.
@Daniela1982 so wrong. The person who raises a child is far more a mother than a birth mother. Often a young baby raised by a family only know that mother, she means everything to them, they fully deserve the name mother. Often the birth mother is toxic and not interested in her child.
"Leftists" as you call them would never use this term. They acknowledge adoptive, assigned female at birth women as mothers, despite not giving birth. Nice attempt at throwing shade though. Better luck next time.
I don't know why they're so desperate to change everything including names like bruh there's already a ton of changes going on, let people adjust to them first, bombarding everything at same time wouldn't help anything. They just trying to take 100 steps a time lol.
I checked their Twitter and they don't refer to Mother's Day as Birthing People's Day. That tweet exists but it's unrelated to Mother's Day. I assume they realize that transgender men who give birth probably wouldn't call themselves mothers
Or maybe I actually am open to lgbtq+ rights and you are just being a boomer who doesn’t want change to adapt to society, just because I am being “rude” to someone who is not accepting lgbtq+ activism doesn’t mean I am a rude person😂 so maybe you should open up your head a bit boomer
How does this question address lgbtqxyz rights? Mother's Day is a day to honor women who are mothers. The day is not designated as Only If You Have XX Chromosomes Day. If you have children and you are a father, then there is a day for you, too.
At the moment, 84% of the respondents think this issue is damned stupid. If you want to throw your hat in with the 16%, have at it.
Wow buddy, still on about this women thing, it is to honor people who gave birth, not just women, and yes, lgbtq stands for Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, people who are bisexual and transgender can also give birth, also I don’t think you realize that there are fing neo nazis in this app so I don’t give a fk about the results, you are just being inconsiderate to the lgbtq+ community, if you would like to continue this debate be my guest :)
Are you aware of anyone who gave birth who was not a woman? And. . . if there is some strange person out there who managed to get both sets of chomosomes and they gave birth, it is still a day to honor anyone who gave birth to a child. We call them "mothers."
Actually many people give birth who do not identify as female, I do know a person who has, and you are right we do not call them mothers, which is why they now refer to the day as birthing peoples day :) if we call them “BR249” then they are not celebrated in this day and that is not being inclusive to the lgbtq+ community, so please just accept gender fluidity and other people of the lgbtq+ community, I get that you grew up with different norms but there is nothing wrong with changing to accept more people in our society and not celebrating one person over another based on these things :)
Whatever they call themselves now, if the gave birth to a child, they are the mother of that child. If you don't believe me, go look at the child's birth certificate.
Oh dw, i am very aware of what a certificate says, are you saying that changes cannot be made? Also for reference you are correct that people who don’t have a gender ever refer to themselves generally as mothers, but people that are male refer to themselves as fathers
Lol, literally you proving my point every time you respond, being the boomer not willing to accept new ideas, and then you try to insult me by saying it is past my bedtime lol😂 bro u so old you should be asleep atm, also why don’t you care about what they want, sounds sorta babyish to me, only caring about your old ways and how things were done in the 60’s😂
Also just thought I would mention your little rampage about your whole country without god thing.. My first reaction was to say we have a separation between church and state, which is true, but I also know that that will only make people who follow the Bible angry that the Bible is not being followed. So as I thought about it I realized a few things that are promising for the lgbtq+ communities, number one is that god says that we should accept and forgive all sinners no matter what, so if you are giving hate to the lgbtq+ communities aren’t you just contradicting what you are trying to help? Yes, yes you are. Number two, the Bible was written centuries ago before the lgbtq+ movements were a thing, you cannot expect the Bible to be the answer god would give, that is like stating women should not have any rights because our constitution says all men are to be treated equally, it just simply does not make since in modern day society. Number three, within lgbtq+ Christians, by using Bible verses known as “clobber texts” you are encouraging suicide and pushing them away from Christianity. Many lgbtq+ community members have a hard time coping with the beat down they are getting from people who will not accept change, when they hear these Bible verses attacking them, some are experiencing suicidal thoughts and that can lead to suicidal actions, by attacking them you are encouraging suicide which is a sin, or you are forcing them to drop Christianity. God is clear in the Bible that you should invite people into Christianity, so by doing this you are the ones who are sinners.
"Also just thought I would mention your little rampage about your whole country without god thing." What thing is that? I never said anything like that. You have me confused with someone else. Understandable.
If somebody wants to call themselves a father even though the birth certificate calls them mother, they can celebrate father's day.
No, the birth certificate does not switch. Not here in Florida. Tell me a state where that happens, and if it does, then who gets listed as the mother? Do you really think that the birth certificate gets switched and it lists two fathers and no mother? Hahaha!
Again, where is the "God rant" of which you accused me?
😂yep definitely a boomer, not understanding that I am arguing for “CHANGE” do you even know what that mean?😂 Change is to replace (something) with something else, especially something of the same kind that is newer or better; substitute one thing for (another). :) yes, accepting LGBTQ+ communities is both newer and better😂
You are so damned smart! It's incredible! Obviously, you are smarter than everyone else on the planet. You should already be a university professor, sharing your vast wealth of knowledge and experience.
Everyone is tripping over themselves to throw out all of the language that we have used up until now. So much misplaced guilt and shame. I would slap this country across the face if I could and tell them to knock it off

Would you have heard of it, if it hadn't been used by Fox to avoid reporting news?
Yes, I heard about it on a local radio station.
And it was reported in Newsweek, among others.

(And, by the way, at least one person with XY chromosomes has given birth, so is there a genetic test for male/female?)
Do you have a cite for that last claim?
It's just to make the point that there's no clear, absolute biological line between males and females.
www.dailymail.co.uk/.../...rs-medical-miracle.html
What do you think of "Black birthing people are three to four times more likely to experience pregnancy-related death than their white counterparts"? Would you support legislation to try to help those women?
1. One person on India who is truly genetically "in between" is not a reason to change what we call Mother's Day.
2. I understand that you would like to change the topic of the discussion. I would not.
That was just the first example I came across, and the point was that there's no clear line where all people on one side are male, and the others are female.
Regardless, why don't you show me one case of anybody actually demanding that name change?

The war to change society is waged with tactics of accretion, not avulsion.

Another demonstration of the general leftist's lack of working synapses.
Absolute wastes of air and space.
I'm far left but that's too far. Mother's Day is for people who raise children in the position of mother, it's not about who gave birth to the child.
Nah, a person can only have one biological mother unless you are a test tube baby or cloned. The rest are just caretakers, step mothers, or foster parents.
@Daniela1982 so wrong. The person who raises a child is far more a mother than a birth mother. Often a young baby raised by a family only know that mother, she means everything to them, they fully deserve the name mother.
Often the birth mother is toxic and not interested in her child.
@ChrisMaster69 I guess that can be true, especially for babies being adopted. Unless told many grow up thinking their parents are mom and dad.
"Leftists" as you call them would never use this term. They acknowledge adoptive, assigned female at birth women as mothers, despite not giving birth. Nice attempt at throwing shade though. Better luck next time.
Are you suggesting that the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League is a conservative organization?
Cite your source, please. Fox News is not acceptable. Not arguing, but have not seen myself.
Of course Fox News is not acceptable to you. So try this:
www.newsweek.com/birthing-peoples-day-cori-bush-debate-rages-mothers-day-weekend-1589846
One politician chose to use the term and it was met with criticism, even from "leftists."
Let's put politics aside. Women who miscarry are still mothers, so I will support your opinion, but not for the same reasons. Acceptable?
I don't know why they're so desperate to change everything including names like bruh there's already a ton of changes going on, let people adjust to them first, bombarding everything at same time wouldn't help anything. They just trying to take 100 steps a time lol.
Why do we always bring up the left it’s annoying
Yes, they are.
we need to point out their stupidity so younglings won't fall prey to it
@Oppressed_Leecher true
Those describing themselves as " woke " ... are very far from woke , comatose intensively indoctrinated , Cultural Marxists.
It excludes adoptive mothers
I checked their Twitter and they don't refer to Mother's Day as Birthing People's Day. That tweet exists but it's unrelated to Mother's Day. I assume they realize that transgender men who give birth probably wouldn't call themselves mothers
How does it exclude adoptive mothers.
If a woman has a child and then wants to be a man, would she consider herself the child's father? Would she then celebrate Father's Day?
Would the birth certificate list her as the mother or the father? Wouldn't she always be the woman who gave birth to the child?
Isn't it she who is excluding herself and not anyone else?
I meant that "birthing person's day" would exclude adoptive mothers because they didn't give birth
Some how this new term seems a bit more Dehumanizing than normal. Might as well just start "Born with Front holes" and watch it degrade to just Hole.
At this point send me on one of those Elon Musk rockets to live on the Moon or Mars. The people here have lost all common sense.
The deviants are just looking for attention again, they haven’t had any in 5 minutes.
yea anyone who thinks being "gender neutral" is even an admirable goal is an idiot
Ok boomer, you are definitely older, but also not wiser 😂
Ok kid, you are definitely younger and disrespectful.
Or maybe I actually am open to lgbtq+ rights and you are just being a boomer who doesn’t want change to adapt to society, just because I am being “rude” to someone who is not accepting lgbtq+ activism doesn’t mean I am a rude person😂 so maybe you should open up your head a bit boomer
And maybe you have drank the KoolAid.

But you can call them BR249 if you want.
Actually many people give birth who do not identify as female, I do know a person who has, and you are right we do not call them mothers, which is why they now refer to the day as birthing peoples day :) if we call them “BR249” then they are not celebrated in this day and that is not being inclusive to the lgbtq+ community, so please just accept gender fluidity and other people of the lgbtq+ community, I get that you grew up with different norms but there is nothing wrong with changing to accept more people in our society and not celebrating one person over another based on these things :)
And mother refers to the female gender by the way which is why they are not referred to as mothers :)
Whatever they call themselves now, if the gave birth to a child, they are the mother of that child. If you don't believe me, go look at the child's birth certificate.
It is probably past your bedtime already so you can respond tomorrow after school.

But it switches lol
No, the birth certificate does not switch. Not here in Florida. Tell me a state where that happens, and if it does, then who gets listed as the mother? Do you really think that the birth certificate gets switched and it lists two fathers and no mother? Hahaha!
Again, where is the "God rant" of which you accused me?
Not legally as I said lol, but their gender does switch so their kids should be able to identify which day to celibate them on lol
I don't care what day they choose. You are now on the wrong issue.

Now you are boring me. Goodbye.
They just can’t leave anyone alone- they’ve sick control freaks.
Its incredibly stupid. Trying to erase mothers and women.. That is the goal of the left.
Yes this is total garbage. Biological women are the only ones capable of giving birth.
My birthday is the day I celebrate my mom. Mother's day is when I ask her for money for picking her 2 and a half dandelions.
Fucking Idiots
You got that right!
