MADISON, WIWisconsin Governor Tony Evers, a Democrat, has stirred up quiet unease with a budget proposal that trades the word “mother” for “inseminated person” in state law. Unveiled on February 18, 2025, by the state Senate’s Joint Committee on Finance, this change has most folks wondering what happened to plain common sense. For families rooted in tradition, the shift feels like a step away from the values they cherish—replacing a timeless title with something oddly sterile.

A Budget With Unexpected Twists

The Evers administration pitched this 2025-2027 fiscal plan as a practical fix—cutting taxes on tips and boosting infrastructure.

But tucked inside are edits swapping “wife” and “husband” for “spouse,” turning “father” into “parent,” and redefining “mother” as “parent who gave birth to the child.”

The governor didn’t mention these tweaks in his announcement, leaving many to puzzle over why such changes were slipped in. It’s a small detail, sure, but one that’s hard to ignore.

Conservatives Push Back on Language Shift

Reaction came fast. A Wisconsin radio host pointed out the oddity on X, suggesting it’s tough to take seriously. A Republican senator from Utah flagged it online as a concern worth watching.

The Republican Governors Association weighed in too, with its executive director noting that “inseminated person” doesn’t quite capture the honor of motherhood—a sentiment that resonates with evangelicals who see family roles as God-ordained. It’s not a loud protest yet, but the unease is palpable.

Gender Terms in the Spotlight

This isn’t new territory.

Recent years have seen debates over words like “chestfeeding” or “birthing person” pop up nationwide.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s recent executive order defines “male” and “female” as fixed realities for federal policy, pushing back against shifting gender language. Another order aims to keep men out of women’s sports.

Last Friday, he sparred with Maine’s governor, threatening to cut federal funds over compliance—legal fights are looming. Wisconsin’s proposal lands right in the middle of this ridiculous cultural tug-of-war.

A Subtle Shift With Big Questions

Evers says his budget helps working folks and homeowners, but the word changes leave some scratching their heads.

For many in Wisconsin, it’s not just about policy—it’s about what these edits signal. If “mother” can turn into “inseminated person,” what’s next for the families who rely on clarity and tradition? It’s a subtle move, no doubt, but one that nudges at deeper concerns about where things are headed.
