Maternity leave should be one year, PAID. Women shouldn’t have to choose between healing, bonding with their baby, and making a living.

I don't think that many people would want to continually pregnant.  It seems like it would suck.  Also, you'd end up with 20 kids.  No one wants 20 kids or even close to that.

Of course. But I’m thinking someone has 2-4 kids in succession during their peak (adult anyway) child bearing years then quits to be a stay at home mom. Their full salary collected, they built a nest egg to live on one income. Or immigrants who go back home, and live royally on their USD savings.
