U.S. policies on maternity leave considered ‘among the worst’

I recently found out that out of 168 industrialized nations, the United States is 1 of 4 countries that does not provide paid leave for mothers and fathers. While employers are required to give time off, the US does not guarantee any such thing, thus, placing it behind a majority of the world when it comes to instituting family-oriented job policies. On one hand, the US is publicizing the propaganda of anti abortion while on the other hand, they have forgotten to mandate a law that takes the financial worry of having a child. Do we assume that the US is shirking away from the responsibilities, which it otherwise have towards the coming generation?
