New York Gov. Kathy Hochul flanked by Democrat lawmakers as she announces support for so-called “medical aid in dying”

Democrats in New York State have declared war on the nuclear family after passing a bill designed to kowtow to the radical pro-trans lobby.

As The New York Post reported on Wednesday, the New York State Legislature this week passed legislation that would erase the terms “mother” and “father” from state child custody and parental laws in favor of two woke, gender-neutral terms.

The terms that would be used instead? Gestating parent and non-gestating parent.

This sounds like something straight out of the Babylon Bee.

The New York Post reported:

A woke new bill erases the terms “mother” and “father” from state child custody and parental laws — a gender-neutral rewriting that’s expected to spark a flood of similarly clunky legislation.

“Mother” would be replaced with “gestating parent,” while “father” becomes “non-gestating parent” or “parent” in family court, passed this week by state Democrats.

“Paternity” proceedings to determine a child’s biological father would meanwhile become “parentage” cases, under the bill, which was rammed through the Assembly in March and of the Senate this week.

A “putative father” — also known as a deadbeat dad — would now be called “an alleged parent” in official state records, under the bill, which was sponsored by liberals Sen. Luis Sepulveda (D-Bronx) and Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (D-Westchester) and will go to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk for approval.

Sepulveda, a Bronx Democrat who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, claimed the bill was necessary “to be consistent with current statute and case law>

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman lashed out at the changes:

“Democrats led by Kathy Hochul have continued their declaration of war on New York families by canceling the loving terms of Mom and Dad and replacing them with ‘gestating and non-gestating parent,'” Blakeman said in a statement obtained by the New York Post.

“The insanity ends when I’m Governor.”

For her part, Hochul pleaded ignorance and refused to say whether she would sign the bill.

“Well, I’m not familiar with what was introduced,” she told reporters at an event in Brooklyn on Wednesday.

“I’ll take a look at it. This has been my practice for five years.”
