House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are known for being the wokest people in the room.
This past Mother’s Day was no exception…
And Sen. Ted Cruz, R-T.X. blasted liberals for their strange holiday message.
Instead of using the so-called gendered term “mother,” some Democrats opted to use a more political correct, “woke” word to celebrate the historic holiday.
“Birthing people.”
You read that right.
Birthing people. This phrase was used by Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., — a close ally of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. — in a Twitter post that quickly went viral on social media.
“Every day, Black birthing people and our babies die because our doctors don’t believe our pain,” she wrote on Thursday leading up to Mother’s Day. “My children almost became a statistic. I almost became a statistic. I testified about my experience @OversightDems today. Hear us. Believe us. Because for so long, nobody has.”
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

Cruz went after the newly coined phrase on Mother’s Day with a Twitter post of his own.
“Happy Birthing People’s Day!” he joked.

Democrats have been fighting “gender roles” for a while. Just earlier this year they proposed new House rules that aimed at eliminating gender-specific pronouns such as “woman,” “man,” “son,” and even “mother.”
In January when the rules were proposed, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., — like Sen. Cruz — mocked the inclusionary effort.
“This is stupid,” he wrote. “Signed – A father, son and brother.”
Perhaps if the Democrats got their way they’d rename Mother’s Day to Birthing People’s Day.
This is stupid.
Signed,
– A father, son, and brother https://t.co/bG9SlRAy6N
