A debate sparked on social media over the use of the term 'birthing parents' by 'Scientific American.' Critics argue that the term dehumanizes women and is ideologically problematic, preferring the traditional term 'mothers.' Some suggest the magazine should reconsider its name in light of this controversy.

There is a scientific name for 'birthing parents.' https://t.co/5sGDWlWgaA
In a study about the highly female-specific structural changes to the brain during pregnancy and after giving birth, referring to the mothers involved as "birthing parents" is obviously ideologically demented. It also just seems needlessly confusing in presenting the findings. https://t.co/l9jpwO1Gxe
