Sigh. Censorship is never the right path. If someone writing up a law wants to use "birth-giver," let them. If it goes to the floor for a vote and the other people involved in the law making process want the wording changed, take care of it there. "Banning" words (making it a law that you can't say something) is never the answer!
How can ANYONE not get that by this point?
Banning words isn't a "slippery slope," it's a purposeful leap off a cliff into the void.
We're just getting started -- 1938, Berlin, book burning party
Sure, but people are free to lack common sense. This shit doesn't affect me or Sanders' constituents at all, so why is a governor spending time and money to limit people's freedom of speech?
And if someone was offended by being referred to as a non-gendered, yet still accurate term, that is their own problem.

Yeah seriously. What part of freedom is this?
Common sense.
