This bill is the logical result of a progressive drive to re-engineer language and reality — and to foster greater dependency on government by eroding strong families.
Gov. Kathy Hochul delivers remarks at the NYS Affordable Housing Conference at the Marriott Marquis Times Square on Thursday, May 14, 2026. A last-minute vote in Albany this month took New York one step closer to achieving the left ’s long-cherished goal: vaporizing the nuclear family.
This isn’t modernization, but cultural vandalism dressed up as inclusivity. They define roles based on biology, love, sacrifice, unique bonds and millennia of human experience. That reality — a mother’s pregnancy and nurturing; a father’s paternity and providing — gives each parent irreplaceable significance in a child’s life. Adoptive or step- mothers and fathers who provide vital love and stability, regardless of gestation, are equally denigrated by this insidious linguistic warping.
The majority claims they’re aiming for legal neutrality, but their new terms are anything but neutral.
“Gestating parent” reduces women to incubators, targeting and diminishing motherhood while pretending to elevate fairness. It undermines the foundational roles that for millennia have sustained stable societies. The damage extends beyond mere symbolism: S.9316 amends the Family Court Act, Domestic Relations Law, Civil Practice Law and Rules, and sections of education law, systematically replacing “mother” with “gestating parent,” “father” with “non-gestating parent,” “paternity” with “parentage,” and “putative father” with “alleged parent.
” Supporters claim that blurring these legal lines will change nothing of substance, but merely promote the ideal of “inclusivity. ”By injecting ideological language into the core machinery of family law, the legislature’s edict will remove legal clarity rooted in biological and relational realities, and will alter how rights and responsibilities, from parentage to support, are framed in custody battles and other disputes.
All while alienating everyday New Yorkers by effectively proclaiming that, under state law, traditional family structures are suspect or outdated. This bill is the logical result of a broader progressive drive to re-engineer language and reality at the expense of common sense — and to foster greater dependency on government by eroding strong families. But instead of tackling these, Albany indulges in language tricks that abuse the very families paying the bills.
New Yorkers deserve better than an endless Sisyphean struggle against fees, regulations and ideological experiments. And we certainly deserve better than legislators who vent their contempt for traditional family structures while letting the state’s real problems fester. The bill passed both houses of the legislature by wide margins, but not quite enough to ensure a veto-proof majority. Enough linguistic fiddling while the Empire State burns.
