Trump's maternity leave plan is only for legally married women. No single mothers, no fathers, no gays, legally married women only, no adoptive mothers either.
I thought Ivanka Trump got a little hot under the collar when questioned about that. She seemed thrown off guard and said that only natural birth mothers should have leave because they have to recuperate physically. Typically, though, maternity/paternity leave is also meant to allow for bonding time with a new child in the home.
I agree with her. I don't think employers should be forced to give anyone paid or unpaid leave for anything other then physical recovery from child birth. Bond after you get home from work just like everyone else who ever had to work for a living.
