Women help support economies.
Creating a longer paid maternity leave will not only support the family and encourage couples to have children, but help women get back into the workforce after bonding and raising their children.
If we want happy, healthy children then we need to put money, time and effort into the American family again. We now live in a two income household economy, so instead of forcing women to go back to their jobs at 6 weeks or 12 weeks after bringing a fresh life into the world let’s support them by giving them longer (PAID) maternity leave.
If we help moms then we help the family, which helps the children, which shapes the next generation.
