Republican Sen. Ted Cruz also tweeted a picture in which “Mother’s” was erased and replaced by “Birthing People’s”: Happy Birthing People’s Day! pic.twitter.com/2GbFenjmGr As a result of the criticism, Snopes readers asked us if this means that Democrats really are attempting to replace “Mother’s Day” with the term “Birthing People’s Day.” We learned that these claims are false. The Democratic Party has not announced, revealed, or demonstrated any plans to replace the term “Mother’s Day” with any other phrase. On May 9, 2021, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi released a statement using only the term “Mother’s Day.” When Bush tweeted using the term “birthing people,” it was in order to be more inclusive of transgender people, including transgender men and gender-nonconforming people who also give birth, she later explained.
