Holy hyperbole, Batman! When did we go from my original statement, "I'm sure it's not shameful. It might bug you, but I don't see it as something worthy of shame" into the utter annihilation of humanity, and me as a bad person for wanting that?

It's kind of weird that humanity has managed to procreate without extended, government-funded maternity leave up to this point, isn't it?

(I'd also like to mention this discussion is scoped to US Governmental legislation, NOT the debate over humanity's continued existence.)

My original point was that it's not shameful to not provide this entitlement. Somehow we managed to go completely off the rails into zero-population Armageddon.

I would also ask that you tone down the rhetoric, personal attacks, and broad generalizations for the sake of civility.
