    Pregnant Woman No Longer Allowed to Be called “Mothers”

    6 FEBRUARY, 2017

    The British Medical Association has asked its 160,000 members who work in hospitals and general practice across that country not to call pregnant women “mothers” to show sensitivity toward transgender people, according to reports. BMC, the trade union and professional body for doctors in the U.K., has issued official guidelines to all its members, saying



    mothers-to-be should be referred to as “pregnant people” instead, according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail newspaper. A 14-page booklet, “A Guide To Effective Communication: Inclusive Language In The Workplace,” states, “A large majority of people that have been pregnant or have given birth identify as women.

    Just how far is "stupidity" going to go before someone smart says: "Enough already!"

    As much as I love my husband, I don't love his alcoholism, especially when I that alcoholism makes the very intelligent man I married act stupid. I once bought him a t-shirt that said: "You can't fix stupid!" And everytime his alcoholism made him act that way, I would go get his t-shirt and tell him he needed to put it on. You know after about 10 or 15 times of doing this....my smart man decided to not do "stupid" in front of me anymore.
    Maybe I should have a bunch of those t-shirts made and send them as gifts to these morons who come come with this kind of stupid crap!

    I can't agree more. I was thinking about these pr0-choice folks and I realized, yes, a woman has a right to chose for her own body, but what about the baby?? Can't hardly voice your opinion while your in the womb. And when a woman is pregnant, it is no longer JUST her body, she is eating for two, I've heard that phrase my whole life. She has to not just think of herself anymore (if she's willing to think about another life) but she is also "thinking" for two now.

    Sorry, just got off track there. I know everyone has their right to their opinion.

    This is just more of that politico correctness illness that is spreading around the so call civilized world the sickness that everyone is different and has to be dealt with separately. Let start at all of us being human and end there as well

    Sorry if I got a little to passionate about this news article....but I am really tired of reading about things like this. I love being a mother and no one is ever going to take that name away from me. The world has lost all common sense and become stupid...but that doesn't mean everyone has to follow along with this kind of PC. I'm not going to stop calling my daughters a "she" or "female" either instead of "gender neutral"....or my grandchildren "him" or "her". Who comes up with this "stuff" anyway? It must be the loonies in the Looney Bin.:rolleyes:
