I heard Steve Bannon mention something I had not thought of: Of course organizations like Amazon are offering to pay for up to $4000 for travel to a place where their employees can get an abortion.
Cheaper than paying for 3 months maternity leave for both men and women.
Astonishing.
Not only that but the legacy costs for providing health insurance for the dependent child/children until they no longer qualify.....
The manufacturing company I worked for in Detroit (UAW plant) was self insured with Blue Cross of Michigan being the carrier.
We had an hourly employee with an infant born with a severe disability. According to the health care plan, there was a maximum payment of I think $150,000 per year. Care for the in home care of the child easily exceeded that and when the insurance company stopped payments, the employee went to the union for help arguing his situation.
I'm not clear about the final outcome but I think corporate felt sorry for the guy and agreed to continue paying the medical bills. As expected, the child eventually died the following year.
I was in HR at the time and I was glad that the company showed the compassion and generosity that it did. Unfortunately it was wasted on this employee because he was one of the biggest jerks I had to deal with at the company. Oh well
Yes as a pro lifer I oppose mandates maternity leave.
It just makes women less likely to be hired.
And makes companies more interested in pushing abortion on their employees.
From a corporate CFO perspective, company-paid abortions — even including air fare — are far and away less expensive than paying women for zero-productivity maternity leave, paying increased health insurance plan costs tied to more employees having children, and bearing the ongoing risk of female employee attrition as mothers-in-employ suddenly “take the Mommy Track” and exit the company; taking their productivity and experience with them.
COF gotta find a way to keep those would-be Moms focused on the plantation.
This was a “money” quote from Tucker Carlson, as he parodied the anti-family rant of an unhinged leftist:
“CHOOSING A FAMILY OVER SERVICE TO GLOBAL CAPITALISM?!?!? THAT’S DISGUSTING!!! SHUT UP!!!”
