Yes. It is an absolute travesty that women have to give up on careers in order to have a family... I would think that those that favour private enterprise would actually want this as it promotes the best people for the job.
Is it a "travesty" that a woman who smokes or a woman who drinks would find it in her...and the child's...best interest if she gives up those activities? And what of the women who do NOT choose to give them up? It is the same with the choice of how to deal with a career when starting a family. It is simply a choice that each individual mother must make.
I find it to be more of a travesty that Obama, his buddies and bleeding-heart liberals in general want to make this whole parental leave issue a convenient political football that they hope will help them in the upcoming election...and that they would even consider dictating to individuals and businesses about how they should spend their money.
