Obviously this upset the Haredi parties, as they do not want to give an inch on such matters, as promoting such a lifestyle is against Torah values, and making it easier for them in any way can be seen as promoting the lifestyle.
To that end, MK Moshe Gafni (UTJ) has proposed a law that would require government offices to keep the original "Father" and "Mother" lines on all forms.
Gafni says that changing the forms to say "parent 1 and "parent 2" is against the values of the State of Israel as a Jewish state.

DeleteAnonymous @4:51 pm: It is a disgrace that the so-called 'Jewish' state should even contemplate to change the standard 'father & mother' on any form! The state has in the last number of years literally changed to 'be like the other nations' and are taking their cue from the U.S., Europe, etc. to continue on without the guidance and foundation of Torah Laws, which, of course, cannot be, as there would be no Israel to start with! Israel is, literally, G-D's country. We are a nation under G-D! If one doesn't like it, they can leave - there's plenty of other places.
