UMVA has learned that a radical bill has been passed in the New York legislature, redefining fundamental terms in child custody laws. The bill replaces words like 'mother' and 'father' with 'gestating parent' and 'non-gestating parent,' a move that has sparked intense debate.
The legislation, driven by Democrats, aims to promote 'inclusivity' for LGBT parents and non-traditional couples. However, critics argue that this change is unnecessary and erodes the humanity from important words.
Under the new bill, the term 'mother' is replaced with 'gestating parent,' 'father' becomes 'non-gestating parent,' and 'paternity' is redefined as 'parentage.' The bill has passed in the state Senate and Assembly, and now heads to Governor Kathy Hochul's desk for final approval.
Governor Hochul has expressed that she is unfamiliar with the proposal but has promised to review it. With the legislative session ended for the year, Hochul has until the end of the year to make a decision on the bill.
This move has been met with outrage from many, who see it as an attempt to dismantle traditional family structures. The change has been described as 'total madness' and 'INSANE,' with many questioning why the social structure and language used since the beginning of civilization needs to be changed to accommodate a small percentage of the population.
As a mother herself, Governor Hochul's decision on this bill will be closely watched. Will she sign a law that redefines her own role as a mother, reducing it to simply being the 'gestating parent'?
The implications of this bill extend far beyond New York, sparking a national conversation about the importance of preserving traditional language and family structures. As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: the future of family dynamics and social norms hangs in the balance.
