april 18 2018Senator Tammy Duckworth, the mother of a newborn daughter, is calling for a rule change that would allow children under the age of one to be brought onto the Senate floor during votes.

The Illinois Democrat, 50, became the first sitting senator to give birth while in office when she and her husband, Bryan Bowlsbey, welcomed Maile Pearl Bowlsbey April 9.

Current rules prohibit family members, including children, from the Senate floor, but Duckworth argued that the ban doesn’t support working parents who can’t be away from an infant for long periods of time in their first three months.

Duckworth said before the birth that although she would be on an unofficial maternity leave she intends to return to the Senate floor for important votes. Senators are not allowed to vote by proxy, and conflict of interest rules prevent them from leaving their children in the care of a staff member while they vote, Fortune reports, creating a difficult situation.

The opinion of a barely educated dunce is irrelevant.

What is relevant is why the fuck the United States in one of the few countries on the planet that does not have mandatory paid maternity leave for new mothers. I mean, I get that conservatives dream of making our country into a Lord of the Flies plutocracy....but how the hell are we losing out countries like Iran, Peru, and Algeria on this kind of deal??

Looking at your map, one gets the impression that jobs in the US don't provide any maternity leave. But most halfway decent jobs in the US include paid maternity leave. It isn't mandated by the government, but to attract and retain good employees, companies provide it. The free market works just fine.

I'm just happy to see a Dem choosing life. Plus, there's a lot of babies already on the Senate floor.

It is the word Mandatory. They want employers to pay for it. In the countries you mentioned, the government pays it and it is funded in part by employee contributions through their version of a social security system and using the leave could reduce your benefits down the road. In America, there is no interest in the proponents of anything other than free money from the corporate bank account.

The more expensive special treatment you give women, the less likely it is they will be hired. THINK

LOL

What an asinine thread. So what if she wants to bring her infant child to the floor. What difference does it make to you?

And as asshole Threedee pointed out, there are numbers of babies on the floor. And don't forget the big baby in the Oval Office.

I'm sure that baby will, in time, have more worthy things to say than many already on that floor. After all, out of the mouths of babes...

Would you take an infant child to work...if you do work?

[TOP]

She says she does not want to leave the baby outside if she's breastfeeding and has to vote...who can disagree with that> And that being said...she's a much older mom....she probably wants to spend as much time with the child as possible....
Good for her! She made sacrifices for this country (thank you for your service, Mrs. Duckworth) and such a small sacrifice can be made for her!
The Senate voted on additional floor privileges in 1977.... so they should just go ahead and get the changing tables installed...New parents who work have responsibilities....

Just like a Liberal to want to pay someone for doing nothing.
