The world’s sole superpower requires the same level of paid maternity benefits as fellow economic powerhouses Swaziland, Lesotho and Papua New Guinea. That is to say, zilch.

Just another example that the pro-lifers are only

'Pro-life' until birth...

The family says it wants to switch off the machines and let Muñoz die with dignity. All she is now is “a host for a fetus,” her father, Ernest Machado, told The New York Times. But John Peter Smith Hospital has invoked a state law prohibiting the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment from a pregnant patient. The hospital argues it cannot legally allow the woman — and therefore her fetus — to die.

Under Texas law she is already "dead." Brain death = death. Although obviously it does not disqualify anyone from becoming governor.

Host for a fetus? Isn't that fetus the guy's grandchild? That seems like a jerkish thing to say. Though it's true that many republicans don't seem to care as much for child services and foster care as they do preventing someone from having an abortion.

The US has been going down the tubes for decades, we no longer concentrate on things that matter. We have moved our factories over seas and practically make nothing anymore. "Free" trade agreements is the reason for this.

We almost "make" women have to work when taking care of their offspring is the most important job they could ever have.

Of course their should be paid maternity leave, not having it is just stupid and against morality! Both members in a marriage should not have to work to survive but that is the way things are or heading.
People should be encouraged to have children not have it be a "money" issue, that goes against nature in so many ways. We have the resources and technology why don't we implement these things.

Too bad this simply isn't true...


Now, if you want to make a claim about manufacturing jobs you may have a case; however, your reasons would be wrong. Automation and obsolescence are far more responsible for the reduction in manufacturing jobs than your free trade agreements or offshoring.

If I remember rightly, George Carlin expressed this as, 'If you're pre-born, you're fine. If you're pre-school, you're fucked.'

I'm going based on the facts of tons of things you used to by said Made in USA, now says China, Taiwan, Vietnam.

We can do the automation in this country, why does it have to be made somewhere else.
