We should have properly covered maternity leave so they do not need to risk themselves or the child. It's unbelievable to me that we don't have that yet.

I love that you see ending DEI and, therefore, the employment of pregnant women as a good thing. But retroactively wish that our government could establish properly covered maternity leave.

You are incredibly naive if you think that will ever happen. DEI was a solution to that problem. Lobbyists pour huge amounts of money into preventing any significant mandates for maternity leave. People had to fight to continue to work and have job security because it is crystal clear that no one is coming to help us. We have to work. We have to feed our kids somehow.

Your logic is flawed. If they came up with a plan to cover maternity leave and then dropped the DEI, maybe it would make sense. But those actions in reverse? Directly lead to an increase in human suffering. The fact that you can not see that and are just happy that you have less competition in the working world demonstrates a lack of empathy. "Ohh, if only our government would properly cover maternity leave." You don't actually care. Stop pretending.

I realize I my diatribe was pregnancy related. But it goes without saying that this logic follows for disabilities and plenty of other situations.
