The War on Motherhood: Why the Left Wants to Erase Moms

Democrats are upset about President Donald Trump renaming the former Gulf of Mexico but want to replace the word “mother” with “inseminated person.” You can’t make this up.

The Left’s war on language has reached a new level of insanity, and this time, they’ve set their sights on one of the most sacred and fundamental institutions in human existence: motherhood.

In Wisconsin, Democrat Gov. Tony Evers and his administration are pushing to erase the word “mother” from official documents, replacing it with the sterile and dehumanizing term “inseminated person.”

If that sounds absurd to you, that’s because it is.

This isn’t just some minor bureaucratic change—it’s a deliberate and calculated attack on the very concept of family, gender, and biological reality. The Left has been waging this war for years, but now they’re saying the quiet part out loud.

They don’t just want what they call “inclusivity” or “progress.” They want to dismantle and redefine the very essence of what it means to be a mother.

It’s not enough for the radical Left to control the media, academia, and corporate America. They now want to control language itself.

Their goal is simple: if they can redefine the words we use, they can reshape our culture, our values, and our understanding of truth.

By replacing “mother” with “inseminated person,” they are stripping away the love, sacrifice, and irreplaceable role that mothers have played in society since the beginning of time. They want to reduce the most profound human experience—the bond between a mother and her child—to a cold, clinical process.

Think about the message that sends to young women and mothers across the country. The miracle of childbirth, the nurturing instinct that has defined human civilization, is being reduced to nothing more than an “insemination.”

It’s offensive, it’s degrading, and it’s deeply anti-woman.

For decades, feminists fought for women’s rights and the recognition of women’s unique contributions to society. Now, in an ironic twist, today’s so-called progressives are actively erasing womanhood itself.

They tell us that men can become women, that gender is a social construct, and that motherhood is just a biological function that can be described in purely mechanical terms.

How did we get here? How did we reach a point where the same people who once championed women’s rights are now telling us that a woman is nothing more than an “inseminated person”?

This isn’t progress. It’s regression.

If we accept this insanity, where does it stop? If “mother” is offensive, what’s next? “Father” becoming “sperm provider”? “Family” being replaced with “cohabiting legal units”? The Left’s obsession with dismantling traditional values is a dangerous path that leads to a society completely detached from reality.

The bottom line is this: Language matters. Words shape our culture, our beliefs, and our identity. The radical Left knows this, which is why they are so hell-bent on controlling it. But conservatives—and all other Americans who still believe in truth—must stand firm.

Mothers are not “inseminated persons.” They are the heart of the family, the cornerstone of civilization, and the very people who bring life into this world. No amount of leftist linguistic gymnastics will ever change that fact.

Evers and his allies can try to rewrite the dictionary, but they can’t erase the truth. And the truth is this: Motherhood is irreplaceable, and we will not stand by while the radical Left tries to erase it.
