Do you agree with the President's recent statements that the US should join the rest of the industrialized world and have provided paid maternity leave? The President said that Congress should work on legislation requiring employers to have paid maternity leave? Do you believe this should be law or not?
Absolutely. Many women are forced to abandon their careers in order to have children or at least take a significant hit to. If family really is such an important value in this country, we shouldn't make it such a hardship for working women to also have families.

Every other western nation enforces paid maternity leave, and they benefit from it tremendously.

That is if they dont terminate it or hell (it seems) those services are being removed slowly as well...
If the taxpayers want the pregnant women to have the money they should be the ones to pay.
They can show some personal responsibility and not get pregnant. Make an adult decision on what is important to them. Child, or career?
So a woman has the right to an abortion?
Not getting pregnant is not the same thing as getting an abortion.So a woman has the right to an abortion?
So you believe we should set up a national system funded by a payroll tax? Rosa DeLauro has in the past introduced legislation that would provide up to 12 weeks of paid leave through a fund in the Social Security Administration, paid for by contributions from employees and employers of 0.2 per cent of wages. Do you support something like that?

Absolutely they should.
Why America insists on remaining uncivilized in so many ways in the name of "freedom" or something is beyond me.
No....
Not just no, but HELL NO!
If a couple cannot afford to have a child, why are they doing so?
