I just don't think people would employ women, then. And it wouldn't be very fair on fathers who would also like to take that year. Is this doable? Would the work still get done?

I don't know enough about how the economy works but I'm just not sure 'because I want to be with my baby 24/7' is a good enough reason to be paid not to work once recovered from birth.

I think that becomes a lifestyle choice then and must be worked out and planned for by a couple. My adult daughter is currently working a job she dislikes to save up money to have a baby and take a year off.

We need to value families above and beyond economics/capitalism.

I don't know that that means anything. I do value my family over economics and capitalism but I also value other people's wellbeing and I'm not prepared to take money which could be spent on vulnerable people for looking after my own house and family.

Most people having kids are vulnerable. Everyone should be able to take care of their own children for up to a year. biologically/psychologically/sociologically speaking: we need to. Forming secure bonds takes longer than a few weeks. Breastfeeding is crucial and takes time, too.

I think we're just going to keep going over the same area so I'll leave it here.
