Massachusetts Parentage Act, aimed at redefining legal parentage and ensuring equality, has passed in the state senate and awaits Governor Maura Healey's approval. If enacted, the bill will eliminate gendered terms like "mother" and "father" in favor of gender-neutral terms such as "parent" or "birth giver". It aims to ensure equal rights for non-traditional families and joins other New England states with similar legislation.
