Cori Bush (D-MO) referred, ironically, to mothers as \u201cbirthing people\u201d in a floor speech supporting the MOMMIES Act \u2014 a measure also aimed at improving maternal outcomes for minority women. At the time, conservatives pointed out that the term erases women and, specifically, mothers, reducing the monumental process of growing and birthing a human child to a biological function.<\/p>\n<p>Progressives, looking to eliminate gender-based designations disagreed, claiming that the term \u201cmother\u201d was specifically gendered, and that \u201cit\u2019s not just cis-gender women that can get pregnant and give birth,\u201d according to the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we talk about birthing people, we\u2019re being inclusive. It\u2019s that simple,\u201d the pro-abortion group tweeted in support of Bush\u2019s use of the term \u201cbirthing people.\u201d \u201cWe use gender-neutral language when talking about pregnancy, because it\u2019s not just cis-gender women that can get pregnant and give birth. Reproductive freedom is for *every* body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/biden-budget-birthing-people\/\">Washington Free Beacon noted<\/a>, it appears the provision is the first place the term \u201cbirthing person\u201d has appeared in a draft piece of legislation authored by the White House, though is the only such appearance of the term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden\u2019s budget is the first known instance of the term making its way into a policy document at the federal level,\u201d the Free Beacon reported Tuesday. \u201cThe budget\u2019s language, however, is not entirely consistent. Another section touts paid-leave policies for their success in keeping \u2018mothers in the workplace.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s $6 trillion draft budget appears heavily influenced by abortion-rights organizations. In addition to the gender-neutral terminology, the draft budget also fails to reference the Hyde Amendment, which prevents taxpayer funding of abortion services through Medicaid, Medicare, or healthcare plans for federal employees and members of the military. The Biden budget is the first since 1977 to omit the safeguard.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
