The Republican Governors Association is criticizing Gov. Tony Evers and Wisconsin Democrats after a bill was filed Feb. 18 changing the word "mother" to "inseminated person."
The executive budget bill introduced by the Joint Committee on Finance covers a wide variety of topics for the 2025-2027 fiscal biennium, including agriculture, education and payments to rural health clinics.
The bill recognizes same-sex marriage by making references in the statues to spouses gender-neutral. The terms "wife," "mother," "father" and "husband" were replaced with gender-neutral terms, such as spouse and person.
In one section covering artificial insemination, "the husband of the mother" was changed to "the spouse of the inseminated person."
RGA Executive Director Sara Craig issued a statement Friday: “Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers’ latest left-wing push isn’t just out of touch, it’s offensive to mothers. Being a mother is the greatest privilege I will have in my lifetime, and every mother I know feels the same. If Tony Evers can reduce motherhood to an ‘inseminated person’ then our society is lost."
President Donald Trump signed an executive order earlier this month to bar transgender student athletes from participating in NCAA women's sports. On Feb. 21, the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association, which oversees most of the state's high-school athletics programs, changed its policies so only athletes "designated as females at birth" will be allowed to compete in girls' competitions.

This woke bullshit is insane. I was an English major in college. I hate watching our language being destroyed by idiots.
