[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Silverman is a nutjob. She was an unethical, unprofessional  reporter at the City Paper, and she's gone on to prove she also understands nothing about the economics of running small and medium sized businesses who will be impacted most by this.

[b]This bill WILL result in more women in their 20's and 30's not getting jobs because employers are going to pass on them in favor of older women or men.[/b]

Silverman thinks businesses have an inexhaustible source of capital to fund all sorts of spendthrift ideas of hers. [/quote]

You are probably uninformed about the Paid Family Leave law. It doesn't just apply to mothers who have have given birth. Fathers are also eligible. Do you think this will cut down on jobs for men in their 20s and 30s? More over, the law is not limited to maternity or paternity events. It also covers serious medical conditions affecting family members or serious medical conditions impacting the employee. If employers avoided child-bearing age women, they might end up with an inordinate amount of older employees who are more likely to face health issues.
