Not sure. Haven't you ever seen a father-to-be next to his pregnant wife saying "we are pregnant" ? But I think this is worse.

Interesting considering the same sentence speaks about maternal mortality and maternal health.

I know they weren’t married, but I bet you “we are pregnant” was never uttered by Hunter about Lunden Roberts.

It appears to be just another cog in the machinery of change that has been going on for some time. There is now noting off limits, nothing untouchable. What next?

Over the years I have been intrigued how the definition of “ family” has changed. It used to be strictly based on blood and law. A blood relative or an “ in Law” , meaning becoming part of the family by legal contract . Marriage .

Now? I guess it means anyone that lives together under the same roof.

I agree. It makes it sound like a woman is a machine that has a certain function. Next, the loons won't call her a person but a birthing "thing" or "apparatus"

But all who give birth are Mothers. That's what this is addressing, those who give birth.

Yes, it is inconsistent and demonstrates a lack of conviction in the absurd bastardisation of language.
