Compared to other advanced countries, we are epically failing when it comes to paid maternity/paternity leave. Various (blue) states have some employee friendly paid leave laws but none come close to other advanced democracies.

“On average, maternity leave in the OECD countries lasts 18.5 weeks. Only one developed country — the United States — offers no national paid maternity leave, although some individual states and employers do offer it.”

This is the reason why I envy my Canadian friends. I have a friend who just gave birth and she was on maternity leave for a year and she's receiving support from the government as well. Our government lacks sympathy and understanding for mothers and this is just so heartbreaking.
