I found the following link on Maternity Care interesting.

I thought it was stupid for Stabenow to say he "does not need maternity care" in his health insurance because it will be "too expensive". Are you kidding me? If every man thought this way, then housewives who depend on their husbands health care would be left out. They would have to depend on the old practices to give labor. Why doesn't he see equality in having a health care policy that takes care of the beauty of giving birth? Does he have any daughters? How can he not think about what his decision means for the future.
Comments like this is why feminism is important today, people need to speak up about what these decisions have on our future. Also, like Kyl stated, connections need to be made with the topic at hand and reality. I understand that in passing a law both arguments need to be made but this is ridiculous!
He needs a letter from his mother like in Iron Jawed Angels!

I absolutely love the comment the women makes about his mother. He really is just talking out of his ass and not thinking about the reproductions not having maternity leave would actually mean. It's like ya w/e your not a woman and don't need it because your not going through hours of labor giving birth to your child. I'm sure it would come to use for her husband to have some sort of paternity leave to help her out once the child is born so you do technically do need maternity/paternity leave
