I didn’t see how long O’bozo thought the leave should be. I’m thinking 5 years or until the rugrats are in kindergarten.

yeah, that’s the ticket!

No = 56%

Why should I have to pay just because someone wanted to make whoopy? That takes away from everyone else at the workplace from getting a pay raise and for their customers having to pay more for purchased items to help cover someone who is home eating bonbons between diaper changes.

We can make the economic and ethical case against this requirement without denigrating motherhood. Without motherhood, none of us would be here.

Modern womyn don’t need baby daddies anymore, only sperm donors from those eevil men. Big daddie gov will take care of all of their needs, from childcare, to college, to affirmative job placement, and make those eevil males pay dearly.

And millenial women wonder why young men refuse to have anything to do with them, and would rather play video games and ride skateboards instead.
