About this episode

Rep. Kat Cammack discusses the implications of New York's push to replace traditional parental terms and its connection to broader societal issues.

Rep. Kat Cammack joins Riley Gaines to discuss New York’s push to replace words like “mother” and “father” with terms like “gestating parent” and “non-gestating parent” in state law — and why she believes this is part of a much larger fight over women, family, and biological reality. Cammack and Riley connect the debate over motherhood to the same ideology behind men in women’s sports, “chest feeder” language, and efforts to redefine womanhood in schools, medicine, and government. They also discuss adoption, the nuclear family, the rise of socialism and communism in American politics, and why so many families are fleeing blue states for places like Florida and Tennessee. Later, Cammack shares her personal story of surviving a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy, the confusion she says was created by abortion-related misinformation, and why she believes conservatives must reclaim the conversation around women’s healthcare. This episode covers motherhood, women’s rights, family law, abortion narratives, socialism, President Trump, and what it means to protect the next generation of American girls.
