Building a culture that respects life takes intentionality, including the words we choose. In the past 70 years, the language used to describe an expectant mother has been increasingly the medical terms “pregnant” and “pregnancy.” However, for millennia, biblical language was used that is much more eloquent and accurate: a mother was ‘WITH CHILD’. Hosea Initiative suggests we reclaim this life-affirming language restoring dignity and beauty to the state of motherhood! Honor a mother and the infant life she carries when you say she is ‘WITH CHILD’.
