How about this position - being against paid family leave like this but being for tax-funded professional parents. IE, train and treat parenting as much of a profession as it honestly rightly deserves, let people specialize and pursue a career in parenting, and then have them be parents as a full time job, paid the same way public schools are. Because lets be honest - humans evolved to be carried around by their parents in communal groups while nomading around Africa. Its why babies cry when separated and are designed to be constantly attached to someone for most of their first year of life. They aren't even meant to sleep apart from their parents. There is enough sociological evidence that pretty much any form of the stereotypical family unit in any socioeconomic sphere causes trauma to infants because of how they are deprived of their biologically imperative socialization and physical interaction. It goes so far as there being evidence that babies become so anxious because they are stationary - they have a biological impetus to move, that a moving family is safe and to stop moving is dangerous. Its why most calm down if you walk them around in circles holding them. I think there is also an argument that subsidizing reproduction when there is appreciable demand to immigrate to your country is at least racially biased if not wholly unethical, but thats another ramble.
