The New York State Democrats (who else?), in their infinite wisdom have passed a bill that would remove the word “mother” from state law and replace it with the term “gestating parent”. This is not a joke. Would that it were.
Oh and the Dads will get their new term, also. The bill, 9136, would change the word “father” to “non-gestating parent”. These people are crazy. This would also turn “paternity” cases into “parentage” proceedings. This nonsensical terminology (and more) would be used throughout New York’s child custody, family court, domestic relations and education laws. Boy, is there ever going to be a huge bill just for the new stationery alone. Freight-car loads of documents and forms will all have to be re-printed. I wonder which politician’s brother has a printing company?
Governor Kathy Hochul is expected to sign the bill into law. Of course she will.
There is really very little room left in this world for satire.
And on that joyful note, I will fold my tent.
Have a good night, all.
See you tomorrow.
God bless everybody

Unbelievable. I’m at a loss for words. Walk away from our Creator and anything goes.
