A former president criticized New York’s Democratic leadership during a recent rally, targeting Governor Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers for proposed changes to surrogacy laws. The legislation would introduce terms like "gestating" and "non-gestating" parent, replacing traditional language such as "parentage" and "paternity" hearings. The criticism framed the updates as part of a broader push by progressive lawmakers to redefine family and legal relationships. Supporters of the bill argue the changes reflect modern parenting arrangements, while opponents call them an attempt to undermine traditional family structures.
Trump, while railing against Empire State Democrats at a rally in Syracuse Friday, blasted “radical left lunatic” Gov. Kathy Hochul and state legislators passing a bill to change laws around surrogacy to refer to a “gestating” or “non-gestating” parent as well as calling them “parentage” hearings instead of “paternity.”
