[quote=Anonymous]NP here. This is a tragic story, and as the mother of an infant, I feel incredible sorrow for this woman's situation. Having said that, I know that people go on about how other countries have paid maternity leave and how can the US be so far behind...well, the fact of the matter is that if you pay for women to have babies, they'll have more babies. If women are more expensive to employ, people will employ fewer women. Wages for women (All women, not just those with babies) will be driven downward because of discrimination. If you owned a business, would you be more likely to hire someone who gets paid benefits and leaves the office for a YEAR? Or someone statistically less likely to do so? Look at the countries with the most generous maternity benefits. Those are the countries with the largest wage gap between men and women. [/quote]
