If you DON'T want to have a kid, YOU pay for the abortion. Not my tax dollars and not via the insurance me, as an employer, provides for you.
WHAT has gotten into Carrie Lukas? This doesn't sound like her at all; though she IS a Mother now, so that may have changed her point of view...
Maternity leave is an issue between an employer and their employee, to be negotiated between them. There’s no need for government to be involved.
What about dads? This is clearly sexist. After all, we all know there is no real difference between men and women. /s
Well, if you want more of something, subsidize it. If we want more middle class women to have kids then this is one way to achieve it. Demographically, one could view this as a subsidy to get the sort of people who SHOULD reproduce to do so. Arguably, the long term good is greater than the short term harm.
Not that I really have an opinion either way, but if we want kids to come from families with good work ethics and two parents, etc this might be a way to help it along. Even though as a childless male I have no gain from any such policy...
The result of this ill-considered policy will be fewer women of child bearing years getting into jobs with small businesses.
“The result of this ill-considered policy will be fewer women of child bearing years getting into jobs with small businesses.”
there’s no doubt about it ...
I’d rather have my tax dollars going to US mom’s staying home with kids than being given to every multinational bank, every corporate-welfare project Elon Musk can dream up, the F-35 moonpig, every Sunni camel jockey, every Ukrainian nazi, every belligerent Turk, Pakistani, and North Korean we can find with their hand out. Then there’s the money we let DOD spend on helping trannies chop off their penises. Then there is the mind bending waste of the NSA Utah project, the CIA, and the vaunted FBI F-troop that never met a sedition plot they didn’t like. Wars in deep dark Africa, bringing in millions of moslems and putting em on the dole.
We waste a virtual Niagra falls of 100 dollar bills on everything under the sun....
But do something to promote moms staying home with kids, and suddenly everyone starts waving the sword of purity.
Hell, it may not be popular, but I’m for it. As for us men, no dice for you to sit home spooning mashed squash like a mommy. He needs to get his azz to the jobsite and put in a full day...like in the 1950s. The oil fields are calling.
Hell, mothers day was just yesterday, ya slugs.
Other than that, I got no strong opinion on the topic.
I'm unanimous on that. Absolutely ridiculous to get even involved with that.
That’s right. If an employer wants to offer this benefit and can afford it, great! But the government shouldn’t force them to offer it.
Ftahers should be accorded the same amount of parental leave that mothers get, starting at the birth of each baby.
Parental leave is about the right to parent.
Fathers deserve an equal right to parent, just like mothers get an equal right to pursue careers.
Hey man: I’m sure you’ve changed more than one diaper on any given day. How about a dozen EVERYDAY?
And when Daddy dies and leaves Momma with kids to raise what then?
“The purpose of the woman is to breed and keep house for the patriarch and raise their children. That’s it.”

Alrighty then./s
.
I've never had to change a diaper so much as a single time in my life...and I plan on keeping it that way!
Never heard of the idiot
