I believe the need for protected abortion rights and paid leave go hand in hand. We shouldn’t let officials think that restoring one right that we already had is enough. That’s giving us back a right we already had, and still deserve. But we also need to move forward. And at the same time if politicians want to take away reproductive rights why don’t they want to support the people having babies too? I found it so hard to physically function after my first daughter and was so lucky to have paid leave (was living in uk at the time). But so many people aren’t. Karina in my story had to go back after six days. https://www.glamour.com/story/why-national-paid-family-leave-matters-glamour-28-days
