SYRACUSE, N.Y. – President Trump criticized New York Democrats for passing legislation that replaces the terms "mother" and "father" with "gestating parent" and "non-gestating parent" in certain state laws. During a rally in Syracuse on Friday, Trump targeted Governor Kathy Hochul and state legislators for their support of the bill, which alters terminology related to surrogacy and parentage hearings. Trump stated, "Kathy Hochul supports transgender mutilation of your children. She supports men in women’s sports and a bill that would change the terms of mother and father to gestating and non-gestating parents." He further mocked the changes by saying, "You can no longer say ‘mother, hi mom!’ it’s ‘hi gestating.’" Trump urged attendees to support Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman in the upcoming gubernatorial election. Blakeman, the Republican nominee, is currently trailing Hochul by 11 points according to a recent Marist poll, although a Siena University survey had shown a closer race last month. Blakeman expressed his opposition to the legislation, stating, "This is insane. They want to take control away from parents. They’re denigrating moms and dads." A spokesperson for Hochul defended the legislation, saying it addresses technical legal issues related to surrogacy and parentage, and accused critics of misleading the public for political purposes.
