“Birthing people”? Leftist “cancel culture” hits a new low as some proponents hope it marks an end to Mother’s Day

Missouri Democratic Congresswoman Cori Bush coined the phrase in a tweet Thursday and since then, the "woke" have run with it. Lost in the shuffle is actually two beautiful stories expressing the sanctity of life.

“Birthing people”? Leftist “cancel culture” hits a new low as some proponents hope it marks an end to Mother’s Day

Apparently, “wokeness” can’t even reconcile with Mother’s Day.

Social media has been abuzz on the topic of “birthing people”; a phrase coined by Democrat politician Cori Bush.

Addressing Congress on Thursday, Bush shared the story of complications she underwent during her two pregnancies. Almost shockingly, she describes how she battled to keep her babies alive. In one instance, her sister – who accompanied her to a check-up – threw a waiting room chair down the hospital hallway in frustration after Bush was told the “baby is going to abort”.

It’s actually a beautiful testimony to a mother’s love for the child in her womb. Her son Zion, now 21-years old, was born at 23 weeks weighing just one pound and 3 ounces. Bush was told at the time her child had a “zero percent chance of life”, but mother and child endured. Bush then relayed the trials of her pregnancy with her now 20-year old daughter Angel. At just 16 weeks, Bush was told yet again that she was in pre-term labour and that the child would not survive.

But then, the speech abruptly goes sideways. Bush ends it with, “I am committed to doing the absolute most to protect Black mothers, to protect Black babies, to protect Black birthing people, and to save lives.”

Later that day on Twitter, Bush doubled down on the new lingo. This time, she failed to mention “mothers”, and uses only “black birthing people” –

Every day, Black birthing people and our babies die because our doctors don’t believe our pain. My children almost became a statistic. I almost became a statistic.

Since then, responses have been all over the map with criticisms coming from even the strangest corners. Actress Rose McGowan, who sparked the #MeToo movement, was especially harsh:

Birthing People? I’m empathetic to your painful & unfairly traumatic experience @CoriBush but why are you smearing bio-women to virtue signal to trans women? Why can’t we rise together? Your language is creepy. You are gaslighting. What you are doing is dangerous. #DemCult https://t.co/htTMTJQwZO

Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace of South Carolina tweeted: “‘Birthing people’—you mean women or moms? The left is so woke they’re stripping from women the one thing that only we can do. Leave it to libs to botch highlighting an important issue ppl in both parties. Can agree on by catering to the fringes.”

Others took the time to essentially begin the dismantling of the time-honoured tradition of devoting one day of the year to moms –

Happy Birthing Person's Day to all the strong, independent birthing people out there! 😘

And in an act of true “wokeness”, NARAL entered the fray. The nonprofit that opposes restrictions on abortion, praised Bush –

When we talk about birthing people, we're being inclusive. It's that simple.

We use gender neutral language when talking about pregnancy, because it's not just cis-gender women that can get pregnant and give birth. Reproductive freedom is for *every* body. https://t.co/9E9qKRMJTu

— NARAL (@NARAL) May 6, 2021

Yet, some sanity prevailed –

Wouldn’t switching to “Happy Birthing People’s Day” erase all the women who adopted their kids and are no less moms than any other mom? On net, haven’t you excluded more than you’ve included with that attempt at inclusion?
