Democrat leaders are defending a state budget proposal in Wisconsin that changes the terms “mother” and “father” to “inseminated person” and “spouse,” respectively. The terminology change comes specifically from a section of Governor Tony Evers‘s (D-WI) budget pertaining to in vitro fertilization (IVF). It has sparked a backlash from state Republican lawmakers, Elon Musk, and even Green Bay Packers legend Brett Favre.
The IVF section of the budget argues that the terminology changes are necessary as they are more inclusive, though “mother” and “father” are used elsewhere in the 1,917-page document. Yesterday, Gov. Evers defended the changes, though his argument was so haphazard that it has led some to speculate that the Democrat governor was actually unaware of the provisions in his own budget.

“We wish to provide legal certainty and protection to ensure that moms can access necessary care,” Evers said, defending the changes. He continued, becoming increasingly agitated: “What the Republicans say is a lie, so of course I’m pretty pissed off about that. It gives people using IVF legal certainty. That’s it… Moms are moms. Dads are dads. What we want is legal certainty.”
However, neither the governor nor his staff clarified how the terminology changes would actually increase legal certainty. Blasting the changes on Monday, Wisconsin state Representative Amanda Nedweski (R) posted on X (formerly Twitter): “If you believed moms are moms, and dads are dads, then there would be no need for this change. Apparently, Evers believes dads can be moms, too.”
Likewise, Elon Musk described the changes as “messed up,” and professional football legend Brett Favre called Evers’s proposed terminology “nonsense.”
