No one is saying we want MORE babies.  We simply want babies to have a better start to life and for new moms not to suffer.  You don’t seem to realize how many women are forced to return to work after such a short period of time.  You just don’t get it.

I understand wanting to give babies and better start in life and not wanting moms to suffer. But isn't the better option just to not have children...? To me, providing paid maternity leave is encouraging people to have more babies. If you cannot afford to provide for a child without having tax payers pay for it, or your employer pay you for not working, then I'm not sure you should be having a child. That is why they offer those programs in Europe, to encourage population growth. [/quote]

True. We don't need population growth because of illegal immigration. Only the poor immigrants should have children! [/quote]

I mean, I don't actually see a problem with bringing in desperate people from the rest of the world, instead of adding more babies to the world's population. And my point still stands - not sure we should be encouraging the "poor immigrants" to have children either.[/quote]

Because more people aren’t going to NOT have kids because more immigrants arrive.  It doesn’t work that way.  Besides the babies born here are legal and PAY Taxes once they start working.

While it’s not good for the environment, it’s silly to argue we should stop having kids because of it.  We also should stop flying on planes but who is going to do that?  [/quote]

Okay, but does that mean I need to use my tax dollars to incentivize flying on planes?[/quote]

Your tax dollars already are supporting airplane travel!  Who do you think pays for the airport and TSA workers?
