‘Birthing person’ is more liberal lunacy

Somebody in the federal government dislikes the sexual identity of a woman so much that it was changed to "Birthing Person" in a budget bill. No mention if this title is exclusively for women who have given birth or if it applies to all females regardless of age. This semantic liberal lunacy is probably a smoke screen to divert attention from serious divisive national problems like the immigration crisis, rising crime, profligate inflationary spending, climate change, cyber crime, the rising price of most goods, and not to mention high lumber prices. If this change is accepted by the general public, what will come next? This sexless title centers around the reproductive capacity of a woman, so a similar title should soon be announced for a man.
In the near future don't be surprised if at a wedding you hear the minister's last words of his wedding sermon are "I now pronounce you man and wife. Whoops sorry, I meant to say Stud Person and Birthing Person."
