I think historically this period of time will be known as "The Kooky Era".

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has defended a proposal to change the term “mother” to “inseminated person” in state law.
The 73-year-old Democrat rallied for revisions around certain gendered language in his budget proposal for the 2025 to 2027 fiscal period. The bill was first introduced by the state Senate’s Joint Committee on Finance last Tuesday.
Under sections 3105 and 3106 which concerns artificial insemination, the suggested changes include swapping “husband” to “spouse,” “wife” to “person,” “father” to “parent” (or “natural parent”) and “mother” to “inseminated person.”
“Mother” was replaced with a gender-neutral term at least 30 times and “father” was swapped out more than 120 times throughout the 1,917-page document, according to a review by Republican State Representative Amanda Nedweski.
Speaking at an event at the Marathon County Public Library in Wausau on Monday, Evers backed the proposed changes and clarified they would only apply to IVF procedures done within Wisconsin.
“What we want is legal certainty that moms will be able to get the care they need,” he said. “That’s it, end of story.”
