[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is an enormous policy gap that harms women, children, families, and the economy. We should have universal paid leave.

Why?  Being a parent and having a pregnancy is a choice.  You have annual/sick leave.  Save it for a few years like the rest of us.[/quote]

My employer doesn’t roll over annual and sick leave. How do you suppose I “save it up”? Plus my employer can deny requests for annual leave at its discretion, and I only get 7 sick days per year. Last time I checked, you can’t recover from childbirth in 7 days.[/quote]

Leave without pay, like the rest of us.  [/quote]

You know only 56% of American workers are eligible for FMLA, right? [/quote]

Use birth control, like the rest of us.[/quote]

Only 44% of Americans deserve to be able to have children? Give me a break. [/quote]

I wish I could give you a break. I didn't design this broken system, nor am I a designated break-giver for people suffering under the broken system.  [/quote]

You said “use unpaid leave like the rest of us.” Nearly half of us don’t have unpaid leave. That was your ignorance showing. [/quote]

You always have unpaid leave.  My spouse gets no PTO/sick leave/annual leave.  It's all unpaid leave.[/quote]

No, this is not correct. Your employer still has to grant unpaid leave. Otherwise you’re just not showing up for work. [/quote]
