Sorry, Pelosi: Eliminating official use of ‘mother’
isn’t inclusive — it’s waging war on women

One of the first acts of our new House of Representatives might be to cancel Mom.
On Sunday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Democratic majority proposed to eliminate “father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister” and all other language deemed insufficiently “gender-inclusive” from House rules. They would be replaced with terms like “parent, child, sibling, parent’s sibling” and so on.
“Mother” — among the most important concepts in human life — would be erased from the lexicon of the US House of Representatives. It’s important to recognize how radical this is. And no, it isn’t akin to updating federal law to replace “policeman” with “police officer,” a rational corrective sought by feminists for generations.

I just read on a screen scroll that after saying a prayer at the House of Representatives in DC they said Amen and Awomen. I kid you not!

Good luck getting the Congressional black Dems to stop using that term... it constitutes the first part of their most often used phrase.

This pronoun thing is really quite terrifying.
People who do this kind of thing would cut you, and then watch you suffer and bleed to death, all while preaching their righteousness to you.
They are desperate to demonstrate meaning in their existence. They must never be allowed to have power over anyone.

That war has been underway for multiple generations. Those who would encourage women to murder children within their own wombs hate themselves and all women. Without their own children to love why do we even expect them to honor Mothers Day? 'Mother' - a word becoming ever more antiquated.

This should not be surprising to anyone that such a devout defender of infanticide for all stages of the unborn would continue with her new attacks on traditional people. Like Mothers and Fathers.

For all of you that thought 1984 couldn't happen here, think again.

Mother's Day (and Father's Day). Can't use Egg Donor Day or Sperm Donor Day. That's more sexual than Mom or Dad. What to do? What to do? Nancy, please your CA insanity in CA and stop dragging it to Washington DC. Can I assume renaming the White House is next on your list?

"Amen" simply means "it is so". Has nothing to do with gender or sexuality. You would think a minister would know this.

Words DO mean things. P.C language is censorship. We have been nudged along for quite awhile. Anyone remember crippled to handicapped to physically challenged ? People are offended by language that's specific and tells the truth.

Does that mean the first sentence in the Lords Prayer must be eliminated?

And the keep braying that they're the "Party of Science." Perhaps they could share with us which biology books they're using to confirm all these genders and pronouns...oh wait those would have to be grammar books. Never mind.

Strongly agree with Abigal Shrier. This is war on women. For some reason I don't get, the very thing that woman is, is hated by the left. They are fine with women who want to validate themselves by being similar to men, but women who want to be what we are, no. Being Catholic, I naturally think, maybe that is because woman is a kind of foreshadowing of Christ, an afterthought to save Man who is found to be having a terrible time. It is who we are, and who He is too, and the left wants us cut, mutilated, dead, silent, dressing up as men, scrambled, gone.

For the last 20 years we have listened to Pelosi brag about being a grandmother and using her grandchildren as an excuse for many heinous laws “for the children”. What is she going to brag about now?

Her edict is real proof she has never read the Constitution. The Constitution is very clear, every person has the right to freedom of speech. Where is the ACLU on this? More proof the ACLU is a far-left organization that will not come to the rescue of the nation. I put ACLU in the same category as BLM and Antifa.

As anyone with half a braincell knows (so no Democrats in Washington), "amen" has nothing to do with men. It means -- and has always meant -- "let it be so." To say "a-women" is BEYOND STUPID. How many words do we need to change or add to our vocabularies?
Womenstruation? Womeningits? Womennonite?
That this was said on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives tells you how SICK and STUPID Democrats -- even the entire band of pols -- are in Washington. If Nancy and the AOC chicks and her Communist hacks had any FEWER braincells that worked, they'd have to be declared braindead. Or are these real-life examples of Zombies?!?!

These are sick freakin people. You see Pelosi can talk like this because she never had a father or mother, she, like the China virus, was created in a lab by a demented scientist. Got it..

Congress is batsh##t crazy. And they are going to pass legislation that reflects their batsh##t craziness. Dear God, what have we come to?? Only an act of God can sort out this mess.
Bring it on, God!!

Let's just eliminate Madam Speaker. That will fix a lot.

The fact is that Pelosi isn’t going to eliminate anything. She’s just looking for something new to bludgeon Republicans with. Ignore her.
