I'm not sure what the answer is. Women of child-bearing age are already discriminated against by some employers. I imagine this only getting worse if the employer is also forced to pay full-time wages for two months. The owner of a former company I worked for rejected a candidate simply because she was newly-married and would just leave the company when she had kids. In the state of Utah, that's actually a very likely outcome. Was it morally wrong? I think so. His shady policy also effectively saved money. It seems Reddit was just added in the title to get more clicks. A 20 employee tech company with a generous policy is hardly going to make waves when we're talking about maternity leave in the U.S. It's sad that low-income families need paid maternity/paternity time more than anyone, but have almost no chance of receiving it. It's also sad that I don't see a good solution short of government-funded maternity leave. As a believer in small government, this was a difficult realization. Is there a better way?
