'Pregnant persons': Ohio Sen Sherrod Brown scrubbed 'women' from bill on pregnancy
Fox News
Sen. Brown erased women from his most recent version of a bill relating to health insurance enrollment periods for pregnant women.
By last year, he had scrubbed it of references to women before the bill's re-introduction. The 2023 version does not make any mention of "women" or "woman." It also reduced references to "maternity" to only four. Julia Johnson is a politics writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business, leading coverage of the U.S. Senate.

The measure itself seeks to establish a special health insurance enrollment period for pregnant women by amending the Public Health Service Act to require it by law.
