[quote=Anonymous]OP as an addition to your story, I have STD but it doesnt cover pregnancy or pregnancy-related complications. I also have no maternity leave. 
People can suck it.  There's a reason nothing like this should be tied to employment. Insurance. STD. Maternity/paternity, etc. Its all shitty quid pro quo for capitalism.

And for those of comparing 55% (sometimes untaxed) for a year to 100% for 12 weeks (taxed) with the latter as better, I cant even. Its like someone saying ill give you a dollar for 365 days a week versus someone saying ill give you 2 dollars for 90 days and you thinking the latter is a win.  :roll:

55% with no daycare costs, ability to nap when baby naps, ability to enjoy and experience being nap trapped, to be the first thing your baby sees in the morning and the last view at night, to be able to walk and explore outside with them versus 100% and a nanny/daycare at 12 weeks where you are lucky if they get picked up and carried and loved. Again see the shitty quid pro quo for capitalism.
