Not only that. We are all ready to go to war to protect the right to abort a pregnancy. But where is the passion wrt rights for mothers to not have to feel like they are abandoning their children after shortly after birthing them because they ran out of (or never had) parental leave?
Our priorities as a society have been inverted in this area.
- Volundr 4y agoI think you'll find that the cross section of people who support the right to abortion and people who support requiring companies to offer generous parental leave to be quite large.

The states that protected abortion rights are also the states that offer paid parental leave and paid disability leave to new moms. And the states that restricted abortion rights are the states that offer zero parental leave. A significant portion of US society supports helping new parents, and especially mothers. It does not have enough votes in the Senate though.
