Long ago I heard that the Massachusetts law regulating medical practice 
systematically alternated between the masculing and feminine for 
pronouns, after the usual clause about the masculing including the 
feminine and vice versa.  I further heard that at the point where they 
were regulating childberth, the mother ended up being referred to as 
"he".

Can anyone confirm this?
