The United States has long been one of the world leaders in many different ways. But, one major shortfall comes in the way that pregnant women and mothers are treated in our society. The United States is a country that values all members of society, yet it denies basic rights to the very people trying to raise our next generation. These most basic rights include the right to one year of maternity leave. It also includes the right to receive full pay/salary and benefits during this time. These are basic rights that have been denied women and families for too long. Our country's future is being born each and every day. This future is first and foremost made possible by making people our priority. Invest in families, basic rights, and our future.
