"families have to take on debt just so they can take care of their kid for the first year of their life." is a rubbish argument; if you work in a job where you are not going to be able to support a kid for a year, don't have a god damn kid.

but but but who's going to have the future minimum wage workers of America? Who's going to do Juan and Tyrone's jobs? Skyler?
I don't think parents should get a year of paid maternity leave, but 1-2 months is good. That should be enough time to bond with a new born.
I don't know about other states, but CA provides a program for paid family leave. Could be used not only for bonding with a newborn, but also if you need to take care of an ill family member.
