The bill seems to do that, "Inseminated Person" is just one term that was cherry-picked to cause outrage by the people who only read headlines.

So just about everyone

Including yourself, because he wasn't "making it about fucking semen". That particular phrasing was referring to artificial insemination.

Lol

Why don't you break down that word for a little bit, bud? Then ask yourself what fertilizes ovum, and where it's coming from.

It was the "making it about" part there that was the problem, bud. Artificial insemination already refers to that fertilization. Hence, inseminated person rather than mother when referring to artificial insemination as a medical term. But you would know that if you read shit.

Damn. Good point. Definitely a reader who pays attention and doesn't just react to headlines and pop off in comments with soured confidence. Common.
