[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pathetic.   I hope you have all daughters and one day have to listen to how they are forced to choose between returning to work [b]too early [/b]and leaving a tiny infant in daycare or with a stranger and quitting their jobs and becoming 100 percent dependent on their husband.

You're a horrible human being and obviously have little respect for the gender who brings life into this world.  Guarantee you that you'd be all about providing military leave for men who elect to go and blow people up abroad.

So when is it not too early? 12 weeks paid leave seems pretty good to me.[b] Having a child is a choice, [/b]so as an adult you should plan accordingly for that day that you need to come back to work, if that is even what she plans to do. Who really knows. Businesses wouldn't stay in business if every woman came back when they [i]felt [/i]ready. The only people that should be supporting her now is her partner, family and friends.

If it's a choice then are you okay with most educated women being forced to stay at home with kids due to a lack of sufficient leave?  Are you okay with most children in this country being born by women who so poor that dropping out of the workforce doesn't matter?  Are you okay with a significant percentage of the able bodied citizens not working and paying taxes?  because there are serious implications to people viewing having children as a true "choice."   If you think it's a choice then you should also believe that many illnesses are choices and that retirement is a choice.  [/quote]

Again, what would qualify as "sufficient leave" and how can every parent get sufficient leave without it being a burden on business?

Children being born in poverty is due to more issues than just employer based leave. It's mostly lack of education and having children at a young age, but lets blame it all on businesses if you want.

And no, I won't equate bringing a child into the world as the same as having an illness or retirement since they are actually completely different life situations. [/quote]
