I'm going to ignore most of your statement, and just point out that countries that offer generous maternity leave (stable western democracies, mostly) also generally have very low birthrates, many even negative....that the planet is already overpopulated as it is, and maybe we shouldn't be encouraging people to reproduce. Perhaps it's not such a bad thing that people have to choose between having a child and keeping a job.
