I’d like to see men carry a child for nine months of indigestion, morning sickness, swollen feet & hands, skin stretched beyond it’s limits, braxton hicks contractions and labor. Then they can have paid leave. :0)
My hubby has trouble with a sore throat!
First, you have no idea how intense the psychological trauma is putting up with a pregnant woman (and yes, I’ve got three kids) ;)
Second, the statute also applies to ADOPTIONS. When I read that I realized it made sense to apply the law in those cases as often the men bear just as much responsibility for care and feeding as the mom.
On the down side, as others have mentioned, it looks to me like this is the logical conclusion of same-sex marriage.
