Mother here, first by adoption, then by stillbirth, then with a live birth. Biology doesn’t make us mothers. My goodness this is just hate.
Marjorie Taylor Greene says that adopted or parents through marriage aren’t real parents because they’re “not biological.” She just told a witness who is a mother through marriage that she is “not a mother.”
