A year paid maternity leave.........someone must pay for that leave. Who
whould it be? the employer? The Government(which means you and I). If a woman
chooses to have a baby she must also except the responsibilities that come
with it. Whether it be  Day care, working out an arrangement with her
employer, staying home, or doing a shared-time situation.  I know woman who
have done many of these things, raised healthy babies, breastfed and worked
w/o forcing employers and others to share in the lifestyle she (her family)
chooses.  Now I'll climb down off my soapbox :-)
