When I took maternity leave, I had a new baby to care for, that's what I thought maternity leave was for, to spend time with my baby. Now we find out that women who abort their babies, can get 20 weeks of maternity leave.
According to EI guidelines, when a pregnancy is terminated within the first 19 weeks, it is considered an illness, and benefits can be collected. Ottawa does not distinguish between a miscarriage and an abortion. If, on the other hand, an abortion occurs in the 20th week or later, benefits are paid out under the EI maternity program despite there being no mother or child. According to the federal government, the "birth mother" need only sign "a statement declaring the expected due or actual date of birth." Illness and maternity benefits are paid for up to three-and-a-half months.
So, I ask, where's the baby? A miscarriage is totally different than an abortion. A Mother-to-be who truly wanted her baby, will be devastated by the loss. A Mother-to-be who chooses to abort her baby, is happy with her choice, and therefore does not need any support, or that's what the abortion supporters tell us. Taxpayers already pay for the abortions, although many people are against them, but now, on top of that, we also pay maternity leave for abortions?
Where's the baby? A women who aborts her baby, does not have a baby to care for in those 20 weeks, she can party the day after her abortion (thanks texas, you know who you are), without worrying about babies, diapers, breast feeding, or remorse. She does not feel emotionally upset, we are told by the abortion supporters, it does not cause her any stress, it's no worse than going to the dentist to get a tooth pulled, so why do they need 20 weeks to recover, on the taxpayers dime? If it's just a blob of cells, she should be able to kill her baby on Friday, and return to work on Monday, why would she need 20 weeks off?
Where's the baby? Maybe they should seperate it into miscarriages and abortions, not lump them like a blob of cells together.

That's so disgusting on so many levels. Any person who would collect EI for an abortion is about as low as human scum can stoop. I didn't even get f**king bereavement pay when I lost my grandfather recently, and these people can get paid for having abortions? Isn't that sort of like the opposite of a baby bonus?
For the record it is still the law that when there is a miscarriage a Doctor fills out a Death Certificate as done for any Human that survivied in the womb during the Pro-Choice era , so the Government has a real problem here from denying the baby the status of Human while still have Laws and rules that counter that concept.
ughh...abortion at FIVE MONTHS or more. Sick...
I agree raphael, it's disturbing and needs letters to MP's.
Anon1, that is very interesting, I didn't know that!
Anon2, totally agree.
Perhaps the system will do without some more important technology and equipment that saves lives so mothers that murder their babies can party/sit home and watch soaps for 3.5 months. They could return to work pregnant again and do it all over. The taxpayer shouldn't have to pay for their mistakes. It's breeding more and more irresponsibility in the coming generations. Some might even try to get pregnant so they can abort for the paid vacation.
I work hard for the vacation I EARN. I don't want to pay for someone that had unprotected sex to be given time off with pay. Rewarding irresponsible behavior will lead to more of it.
Can your system handle that when there are people waiting for tests and treatments for REAL illnesses?

This letter in today's Post is going to make you mad, Hunter:
John Williamson insults Canadian women, and taxpayers, by suggesting Canadian society does not benefit by providing support to women who have just had an abortion.
Many women seeking abortions do so out of desperation and fear. As a medical student, I have been given the opportunity to meet with mothers who have aborted or have miscarried. Both suffer the same. Through the tearing away of the life within them, both carry unspeakable grief and self-hatred for their condition and both wish that any other eventuality be realized to save them for their emotional void. Both suffer, and both deserve the opportunity to grieve...
Both suffer the same????
I went through a miscarriage many years ago, and let me tell you, I experienced no self-hatred. Grief, yes.
It is so insulting to have those two situations put in the same category.

I would love to have a link to that information.

There is no argument I would believe in either medicine or psychology which would compel me to believe a woman who aborts a fetus needs a day off work, let alone months paid for by me.
Great catch on the letter Joanne, and yes I makes me mad. Sorry to hear about your miscarriage, my sister had two, and grieved for both, but like you she did not suffer any self-hate.
It is insulting to women to equate abortion with miscarriage, they are not even close.
Miscarriage is not a "choice", abortion is. That's what abortion supporters tell us, endlessly. My body, my "choice". Yet when they make that "choice", they feel self-hate? They should be allowed to grieve, like a women who has had a miscarriage? I thought it was just a blob of cells? Why the grief then?
Could it be that they understand that it was a baby that they killed? Is that why they experience self-hate and guilt?

Exactly.

They sure aren't. It's crazy really. Women who suffer miscarriages are in mourning afterwards. They would have done anything to keep the pregnancy healthy. It is devastating.
And yet, I had a few days off work to recover, and then went back because dwelling on it didn't help.
