It’s for when you’re still pregnant, to allow you to go to doctors visits and such, it’s not maternity leave that’s a whole different thing
The US, the last western country lacking maternity leave. Compare that to what other countries do, providing months of maternity leave.
It's a shame the entire country doesn't have it, but many states including New York do already. One advantage of a federal system I guess.
Here's a summary of parental leave by state if curious.

There really should be a national requirement though.
Except it's unpaid.
Do companies have to pay employees for months while they're not doing any work?
Or is it the government who allocates taxes to fund maternity leave?
As a business owner, a woman would have to provide enough value to the company to make up for potentially missing months of work while being paid in order to get hired over a man with no such risk.
I see you're operating under the misunderstanding that only women have to take time off of work to care for children. Or maybe you just think that somehow women are having babies all by themselves without men at all.
WOMEN DON'T HAVE BABIES, FAMILIES HAVE BABIES. EVERY PERSON DESERVES THE HUMAN DIGNITY OF BEING ALLOWED TO CARE FOR THEIR CHILDREN.
I'm sorry for yelling, but it's a fucking important. You're backwards thinking is a key failure of capitalism and a shining example of toxic masculinity.
So you're saying everyone should be hired with the expectation that they will receive months of paid leave for having a child?
Nothing about this is 'toxic masculinity.' It's how the working world works, lol. You'll understand that when you're older.
We're saying that entire societies benefit from having parents spend early months/years with their young children. Because society as a whole profits from that activity, that activity should be subsidized by the government.
And I promise I'm at least as old as you
If the government is paying for it I am all in.
Having businesses pay for it will just result in less women getting good jobs.
Don't be harsh. They have to give all their money to Israel. There is very little left for US citizens.
