    Out of the 193 member states of the United Nations, only a handful do not have a national paid parental leave law: New Guinea, Suriname, a few South Pacific Island nations, and the United States. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reports that the U.S. is the only developed country in the world that does not have a national law on paid maternity leave. This means the federal law does not guarantee that employees will get paid time off after welcoming a child. Only some state laws and company policies are offering paid maternity leave. Therefore, many new parents have to get back to work much sooner after the birth of a baby, because they cannot afford unpaid time off.
    Erica Wilson is a government contractor who lives in Alexandria, Virginia. She's also a mother of two children. In this episode, she shares her two maternity leave experiences with us.

    The corporations need to squeeze as much as time and energy out of the workers. This is when corporations have gone out of control and in bed with government. People being used by them basically. Slavery 2.0.

    A lot of parents limit the number of kids they have based on their earnings and potential.

    Soon enough, with the supreme court overturning Roe v Wade, America will be the country that forces women to give birth for which no pay or holiday are provided.
    Sanctity of life. Hahahhaha

    I hate it when they put sad background music in documentaries, what possible reason do they have for that? let the truthful contents of the documentary stand by itself without any music manipulating your emotions.
