Appropriations Committee Comments
In our appropriations committee this week I spoke on supporting HB 5454 especially in regards to An amendment adding the word "MOTHER" in the bill were it was not specified that "the mother" to many characterizes the person who gives birth to a child. The word mother is a powerful word & strong figure for many of us, especially in the black community.
It was not asking to take language out. I believe adding the word "Mother" enhanced the bill. I also believe it is only a mother (woman) who gives birth. I was not in agreement with anyone who wanted to add "pregnant father". I do not believe people who are born male and living as men can get pregnant.
