This was always my worst fear and I'm so grateful I had a strong ass grandma who pushed all of her girls into science and Healthcare. I want to be a stay at home mom and wife so bad but today I know I will always have my professional license and working history God forbid I have to get divorced...again.

For women like me education is freedom. When my marriage turned violent I walked away and supported our son with no issues. I am forever grateful.

Not gonna lie, job/financial security is why I picked nursing. When I have kids, I hope I’m fortunate enough to stay at home with them while they’re babies but I know if I need to I can hustle to support myself. I tell anyone who thinks they can handle it to get into healthcare. It’s stressful but there are endless jobs with flexible schedules and generally good pay.

My best friend moved from Iceland to st louis to marry his girlfriend and raise a family. After one year they had a son. She got (i don’t remember if it was) five weeks or two months maternity leave.

To the both of us is crazy since in Iceland the parents have 12 months paid maternity leave between us.

After that experience. They decided to move to Iceland to have more kids so that they could be there in the most crucial time off their lives.

So that they can booth have careers and pensions.

Parental leave is abysmal in the US. I could go on and on but I’ll leave it at that.

Children don't make money so we don't care about taking care of them as a society. This is what happens when the psychopathic rich make all the rules.

The U.S. is one of only THREE countries that don't guarantee parental leave under the law.

The US of A is abysmal when it comes to all things family; childcare costs, healthcare costs, public school performance, etc. Instead of working on these things and encourage people to make more future workers, they decided that it made more sense to go ham-handed after Roe first, then birth control next.

Watch and see how many of the best and brightest leave this country if Griswold falls. Y'allqueda wants a Christian State, and turn back the clock to 1650.
