Ohio’s Clearly Confused About Who Can Become Pregnant
In a move that has sparked considerable debate, Senator Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, has significantly altered a bill initially designed to address insurance enrollment periods for pregnant women. The original version of the Healthy Maternity and Obstetric Medicine Act, introduced by Brown in 2015, prominently featured terms such as "women" and "woman" numerous times. However, in its latest iteration, these references have been conspicuously removed.
The 2015 version of the bill included the words "women" 22 times, "maternity" 19 times, and "woman" twice. By contrast, the 2023 version omits the terms "women" and "woman" entirely and drastically reduces the mentions of "maternity" to just four. This change comes despite the bill's continued focus on pregnancy, which traditionally is a condition exclusively experienced by biological women.
The bill, which has been introduced multiple times over the years, including in 2015, 2019, 2021, and 2023, seeks to amend the Public Health Service Act to establish a special health insurance enrollment period for pregnant individuals. Notably, earlier versions of the bill contained a section titled "Findings and Purpose," where it was stated, "Pregnancy is a significant life event for millions of women in the United States each year." This section, rich in references to women, was removed in the 2021 and 2023 versions, with the language shifting to gender-neutral terms like "pregnant person" and "pregnant individual."
Removing female-specific language from a bill fundamentally about pregnancy has not gone unnoticed. Senator Brown's office did not respond to inquiries regarding the rationale behind this linguistic shift or his views on whether individuals other than biological women can become pregnant. This silence leaves room for speculation about the motivations and implications of the changes.
The alteration in language aligns with a broader national conversation about gender identity, which has seen increasing calls from some quarters to adopt more inclusive language. However, this shift has also been met with criticism from those who argue that it erases women from discussions about their health.
