Federal documents would stop using 'birthing person' and use terms like 'mother' or 'woman'.
This bill would stop federal agencies from using the term "birthing person" in official papers. Instead, agencies could use terms like "female," "mother," "pregnant female," "pregnant woman," or "woman." These changes would affect how federal agencies talk about people who are pregnant, giving birth, or are parents.
Today, federal agencies are not explicitly stopped from using "birthing person" in official documents. After this bill, federal agencies would be banned from using "birthing person" or any similar term. Instead, they would be allowed to use specific terms like "female," "mother," "pregnant female," "pregnant woman," or "woman," which would also have clear legal definitions.
