Connecticut Dem successfully has new legislation amended to include phrase 'expectant mothers' after branding woke alternative 'pregnant persons' an 'affront'
A Connecticut Democrat successfully changed the wording of new legislation to add the phrase ‘expectant mothers’, after branding the original suggested language – ‘pregnant persons’ – an affront to women.
State Rep. Robyn Porter, a Democrat representing New Haven, proposed an amendment to House Bill 5454 to incorporate the term ‘expectant mothers’ during discussions on a bill regarding state funding on Thursday.
‘My children call me mother, ma, mommy. It depends on the day,’ Porter said Thursday. ‘I don’t answer to pregnant person or birthing person. That’s not what I answer to.
‘A huge part of my identity is wrapped around being a mother and a grandmother. So I find it an affront that someone would try to tell me that what they’re putting on paper for the purpose of policy covers me when I’m telling you that it doesn’t,’ she continued.
The bill was originally launched by the Human Services Committee before reaching appropriations to incorporate the phrase ‘expectant mothers’ to lines five and six.
The original lines of the bill read ‘… shall create a strategic plan to maximize federal and state resources for mental health services for children six years old and younger, their caregivers and pregnant persons.’
Lawmakers voted 32-16 to adopt the term ‘mothers’ following a 35-minute debate.
The unexpected decision was achieved through a coalition of Republicans and members of the legislature’s black and Puerto Rican Caucus – with all 16 opposing votes coming from Democrats.
