Pro-Family Legislation - Does it help?

[slightlv]

6. I'm one of the "old" women around here.

My childrearing days are long gone. While all these sound well and good, count me as not surprised they've been offered in legislation now.

I also doubt few, if any of these, will be enacted. Getting private employers on board is the best thing. But that's definitely not going to go anywhere. It could actually make work manageable while pregnant. That can't be had. Women are to be punished, don't ya know.

And forcing any woman to carry a child, with all the dangers of doing so entails and deliver that child, with even more dangers inherent, is just flat out slavery. There is no other word for it.

Notice not one thing anywhere was specifically for the mother (instead of mother AND child). There were lots of things I could have used, or used help with, that really had nothing to do with my daughter, when I was pregnant and in the following weeks after I got home from the hospital. Nothing about, for example, postpartum depression and help with child, house, or work environment.
