Nevermind that the argument you seem to be making is that the US is so diverse that the population at large would not agree to having a choice of a paid leave for a year or so. You really think men and women wouldn't want that choice of potentially staying at home for a longer period while retaining pay and their position? Wouldn't want the government to have their back that way? O rly?
