Require businesses to pay for maternity leave for at least six weeks for mothers and two weeks for fathers

Created by R.N. on April 08, 2015

The United States is one of the few developed countries that do not have paid maternity leave. Mothers are forced to decide between staying home with their child or go back to work. This of course affects how long they breastfeed. Companies should be required to have paid maternity leave for mothers up to six weeks and for fathers for two weeks.
