And this isn't the military. Many reputable corporations provide up to 6 months of paid time off for women and 1 month for men. Not one corporation has been worried about abuse because they treat their employees with respect. No one in their right mind would spend 6 months on paid leave and intentionally get pregnant again and again to collect a check.

Oh really? They are stupid then. Why wouldn’t they stay home and get paid. Rinse and repeat and you can have a good 2-4 years off getting paid. Why should the company bear the financial responsibility for that?

It's good for society if kids are well adjusted. But you can't make it too good of a deal or it will be taken advantage of.

Well most offices, people don’t sit 5 feet away from each other. So....it’s a little different which I’m sure you realize. Most office especially of those “top 50” work doesn’t have peoples lives in their hands. I’m sure you realized that. But that’s the joys of the free market. If a person wants that ability and benefit they are free to go work for one of those companies. But I’m sure you realize that.

We don't govern based on what polls well otherwise we would still have slavery.

Again, take responsibility for your own life. Has worked for the previous 100000 years.
It selfish to ask that others pay for your choices.
It is amazing how the world has turned against those who plan and sacrifice.
And before you all call me selfish. You don't know me or the road I travel.
