With a noxious family leave proposal, GOP pretends it's still pro-women despite antiabortion laws

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Having achieved its long-held goal of eviscerating women's reproductive health rights, the Republican Party is now hard at work pretending that it's about to enter a new era of pro-women and pro-family policy.

A more transparently mendacious claim is hard to imagine.

Arguments are common that the Supreme Court's recent ruling in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, overturning the half-century guarantee of abortion rights embodied in the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision, sets the stage for a torrent of pro-family GOP policies.

This country desperately needs paid leave, not just for new babies, but when workers get sick or to care for family members who get sick. This proposal is not that.

1. This proposal

- basically telling new parents to borrow against their retirement benefits if they need time off for a family leave need - is nothing less than a pile of shit. It costs the government nothing - It’s an insult to working people by a slimy little fake Bible thumper totally out of touch with reality. This idiot needs to be booted out of office. What a disgrace!!!
