Maternity and paternity leave should be a mandatory thjng for every single company out there. A mother should have enough time to bond with the baby and recover fron labor. A father should have enough time to stay at home with his baby for awhile before he has to get back to work.
Some countries have this covered with 100% of their salary and the leave covers from 6 months to a year. This shouldnt be that hard to acomplish in the US.
