Tell the Senate: Mothers Aren't "Birthing People"!


 

The push to erase sex in our nation continues to escalate, and what
happened in Congress late last week takes the cake.

Tell your senators: Reject the Equality Act and all other measures
that seek to erase sex!

We've shared with you about the threats of the so-called
Equality Act in Congress, the uphill battle to preserve girls'
sports in state legislatures, as well as the widespread push to make
cross-sex hormones and gender-altering surgeries available to
children.

But over the weekend, attempts to erase sex and demean the essence and
uniqueness of womanhood was taken to a whole new level.

On the eve of Mother's Day, the Democrat-led House of
Representatives held a hearing entitled "Birthing While Black:
Examining America's Black Maternal Health Crisis." During the
May 6 hearing, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform set out to
"examine the maternal mortality and morbidity crisis experienced
by Black birthing people."

If you're like me, this was the first time I had heard the term
"birthing people." I assumed, and soon received
confirmation, that the Committee used this odd term in place of
"mothers."

This terminology begs the question: Why would anyone reduce the
matchless privilege and responsibility of mothers to "birthing
people"?

The term implies that 1) any person - man or woman - can
be a mother, and 2) mothers' sole function is to birth. I
don't believe I need to explain that this is offensive and
degrading to mothers, grandmothers, and all women. Mothering is the
most special, powerful blessing of womanhood that is reserved by God
for women. And the most courageous, selfless mothers among us -
adoptive mothers - know better than anyone that birthing is not
required.

But it appears that the radical Left is blind to this, because they
continued to use this "new terminology" throughout
Mother's Day weekend.

Congresswoman Cori Bush (D-MO) testified at the hearing and later
tweeted with the phrase: "Every day, Black birthing people and
our babies die because our doctors don't believe our
pain."

NARAL (the abortion advocacy group) retweeted her, apparently in an
effort to explain this new terminology while ratcheting up the
rhetoric even more: "When we talk about birthing people,
we're being inclusive. It's that simple. We use
gender-neutral language when talking about pregnancy, because
it's not just cis-gender women that can get pregnant and give
birth. Reproductive freedom is for *every*body."

This seems really basic, but I think NARAL needs to be reminded that
only women can birth babies! In other words, there is no reason to
"use gender-neutral language" when talking about mothers.
And why can you not simply call mothers mothers?

Unfortunately, this bizarre redefinition of the most fundamental title
in human history is evidence that liberal elites are intent on erasing
sex - and especially womanhood - to achieve their
pro-abortion, anti-family policy goals and to permanently alter
society.

While the threats to erase sex are many, the biggest is found in the
Equality Act, which has already been passed by the House and could be
voted on by the Senate at any time.

The Equality Act also includes a ban on "pregnancy
discrimination" and a new requirement for pregnancy
"treatment", which of course is code for abortion. As our
friends at the Charlotte Lozier Institute point out, "The
'abortion as health care' campaign advanced by the
Equality Act effectively defines the unborn child out of existence. It
treats the child as merely a "physical condition" of the
mother that health professionals are called on to address through
corrective treatment."

We are all too familiar with the negative effects of devaluing
fatherhood over the last several decades. I shudder to think about the
negative impact on families, children and all of society if we now
debase mothers to "birthing people" and obliterate
womanhood as some on the Left are clearly intending to do.

Take Action: Click here to send a message to your U.S. Senators. Tell
them that mothers aren't "birthing people" -
and urge them to reject the Equality Act and all other measures that
seek to erase sex.
