Wisconsin governor defends push to redefine mother as "inseminated person'

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers' budget proposal aims to replace the term 'mother' with 'inseminated person' in state law, causing significant controversy among lawmakers.
The proposal includes a 20% increase in spending and tax cuts for the middle class, coupled with a tax increase for Wisconsin's wealthiest residents.
Evers defended the change, emphasizing its purpose to increase protections for in vitro fertilization and same-sex marriage, stating he was unaware Republicans opposed IVF.
Evers' proposal is under review in the state Senate, and final agreement with the Republican-controlled Legislature is necessary in the coming months.
