One can be against some benefits and for others. It doesn't need to be all or nothing.

Absolutely. The question is why this benefit should be excluded. Every other developed country has concluded that paid parental leave improves maternal and infant health, increases workforce retention, and benefits the economy. What evidence do you have that this one isn’t worth funding?

The one where the USA is not a developed country and doesn't deserve it. It needs to stay with all other sht countries

That’s not evidence. I asked for evidence that paid parental leave isn’t worth funding. This doesn’t address the data on maternal health, infant health, workforce retention, or economic outcomes.

Awwww! Someone has no idea what parental leave is. How fucking pathetic.

You already pay into unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation, Medicare, Social Security, and public schools whether you personally use them or not. Paid parental leave is another social insurance benefit that helps keep families and the workforce stable.
