This program will enable these organizations to serve more individuals at no cost to the clients, train more doulas to serve the community, and promote better health outcomes.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The far-left woke mentality has pushed so far that official county documents cannot refer to females as females. It should be noted that referring to women as \u201cbirthing people\u201d is just as offensive as misgendering someone. The vast majority of females identify as \u201cfemale\u201d and simply referring to them as a \u201cbirthing person\u201d strips them of all of their other qualities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Brock Johnson Nathan Fletcher, Chair of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, has sent out a letter to the rest of the County Supervisors addressing birthing health within the county.\u00a0 The main subject of his letter is the \u201cdevelopment of a doula pilot program that addresses birthing health disparities while prioritizing equity&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8299,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nathan Fletcher Uses the Term &quot;Birthing People&quot;
