PORTLAND, Ore. — A decision by Portland city leaders is drawing attention from across the country.

Portland is now the first to offer bereavement leave for employees after they have an abortion.

City Council unanimously approved the changes earlier this month.

Under the new policy, employees are able to take off three days of work after an abortion or any type of pregnancy loss.

So they are admitting, it was a loss of a LIFE, and not just removing tonsils....

Today I saw a car with a bumper sticker that read, “Keep Portland Crazy.”

So now every woman of child bearing age who is off for a day or two will have whispers circulating the workplace about them.

Why if “it” is just a clump of cells?

Wait…..

I thought it wasn’t a baby, that is was just fetal tissue, a clump of cells.

How can you grieve for some random clump of cells?

The evil is staggering.

Isn’t that like the person who kills their parents and then demands mercy and benefits because they are an orphan?

If it's "bereavement," then somebody died.

If somebody died due to abortion, then it's murder.

This is actually moving in the right direction. The fact they’re acknowledging that it is something to mourn is a good thing. Perhaps some women will wake up realizing they’ve killed their child.

Best post of the thread.

We get rid of ‘clumps of cells’ whenever we trim our nails.

Oh.

Like Pete Butt-Gig has taken off months for ‘paternity leave’, as if he’d had a difficult Caesarean section or miscarried of a greatly anticipated child? - while the transportation system in this country is going to hell. (I’m sure he feels very mournful and guilty about all of that.)

At the very top, all we have right now are thoughtless and irresponsible lightweights running everything.

Moving along that axis of reasoning, bereavement leave for having a head cold and blowing your nose too.

What they are doing is to admit that a woman is killing a child, and they need to time to adjust to that.
They are admitting it is murder.

Wonder if they offer it for a miscarriage?

Or are you expected to "buck up you can always have another one"?

Four sentence in the summary says, “ Under the new policy, employees are able to take off three days of work after an abortion or any type of pregnancy loss”
