The military is changing its post-partum leave policy. Previously, mothers were authorized up to 6 weeks’ leave, and new fathers got zilch. Now, either or both are authorized up to 12 weeks any time within a year after the birth.<\/p>\n

The new policy, signed into law with the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act in December 2021, provides parity among birthing and nonbirthing parents for the first time.<\/p>\n

In recent years, birthing parents have received from six weeks for birthing parents while nonbirthing parents received no leave.<\/p>\n

Now, both parents are entitled to 12 weeks of leave to bond with a new child, on top of any doctor-recommended convalescent leave for the mother.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Well, folks, here is political correctness run amok in action. Birthing parents? Policy says ‘birthing parents’, I guess, since all those transgenders flocking to serve in their millions are just champing at the bit to raise their right hands and get knocked up<\/del> get pregnant at the same time? Seems to me “mothers’ is technically the correct term, isn’t it? Kind of like that “non-birthing parent” part. Let me see, you are a parent and not the mother…damn, it’s so hard to figure out what exactly you must be.<\/p>\n

Oh, and the MT author says a familiar sounding coterie of mostly Democrat legislators want 12 weeks PLUS 6 weeks’ convalescent leave for the ‘birth parent’. They probably won’t be happy till ‘birthing parent’ are given convalescent retirement or whatever. Anyway, apparently she didn’t read her own paragraph above.<\/p>\n

H\/T to Jeff LPH for the story.
