I just want to issue a small correction here. After reading this, my sister reminds me that because she needed fertility treatments, her job treated her pregnancy as an elective procedure, and she wasn't even eligible for disability.
It's the most inhumane and unnatural thing to force parents away from their newborn baby by making the economic circumstances so difficult that there is no other way. It's shocking how America treats its mothers and fathers (and newborns therefore) and a reform is nowhere in sight. While millions of dollars are spent on social non-issues that make society even worse (CRT, gender pronouns, DEI), *this* would actually be a topic worth spending millions of dollars for: enabling families to flourish and care for their newborn.

A powerful article, thank you!
