The Massachusetts Women’s Caucus actually endorsed a House Bill which will replace the words “mother” and “father” on new birth certificates with “person who gave birth” and “other parent.”
According to ABC4, State Rep. Hannah Kane, who also sponsored the bill said, “The Women’s Caucus endorsed this bill … because we know that there are many paths to parenthood, and our laws need to be updated to reflect the diversity of families.”
Kane explained, “This bill makes significant strides toward supporting children born through assisted reproductive technology and ensures equality for LGBTQ families to establish parentage.”
PJ Media reports that the part of Massachusetts’ law code governing this says:
“If the mother of the child was or is married and the child’s birth occurs during the marriage or within three hundred days of its termination … complaints to establish paternity under this chapter may not be filed by a person presumed to be or alleging himself to be the father unless he is or was the mother’s husband at the time of the child’s birth or conception.”
