...so are your views formed on the basis that women shouldn't have the same rights as a man while they fulfill their uniquely female job of having children?
I would ask, where does it end?
Having children is OK, provided the company does not have to keep open a job for you, later
IE: take all the time you desire for maternity leave, just don't expect to waltz right in and displace the person that had to be hired, while you were off, giving birth.
Equal for men/women or, if the woman deisres children, go to the back of the line, jobwise, when returning.
All this maternity leave nonsence can be carried too far, which then begins to affect other employees (have to work harder to let missy go have a baby) or...disadvantage the guy/gal who must be hired to replace missy, whilst she is on leave.
Some women game the system, and expect to be paid indefinitely while being absent.
Sorry, ain't no free lunch, somebody has to pay, and it usually is not the one missing.
One child OK, more than one...find another job.

PS: My wife agrees with me, totally, in this regard.
