    This is the precise reason why that clip everyone lost their mind over was using the wording “birthing person” when discussing rights related to abortion.

    You can get your “anti-woke” panties in a bunch for terms like this. But there is a reason they are used when deciding laws. It is meant to very very specific and at the same time being very very inclusive to the rights the law is meant to protect.

    It’s so no asshole tries to take away your rights on a technicality they made up in their mind.

    No one is calling women, nb’s, or trans men “birthing persons” except in this specific context and for very good reason.
