Maternity Leave Unfair To Bosses And Colleagues
Aug 21, 2008 Life, Ranting, Singapore
In this “political right” society, very few people dare to tell their true/real feeling regarding government policies, openly. It is politically right to think that the increase maternity leave and incentives will help and encourage more couples to have babies. But, what do business owners, management people and the colleagues think?
I applaud Ms Laura Ng Lai Sun for telling her us what she thinks in MyPaper. I do agree to what she said in the article. What do you think if you are having colleagues who are pregnant? Do you feel it is fair to you? I think the maternity leave, incentives are just secondary. The main reason for low birth rate is the cost and responsibility involved. Having kids is not just a 1 year, 2 years “activity”. It is a life long commitment. What for having 4 months maternity leave but after that the parents maybe will suffer/struggle for maybe 10, 20 years? This is the part that is frightening.
Anyway, someone ever recommend to me that teaching is the most “pro pregnancy” job around. After finding out more details from my teacher friends, I have to agree with this. So, people, why don’t join the teaching line?

Aliza Shvarts, a Yale art major, had a senior project that most students won’t choose, at least for guys. She was reportedly impregnated herself multiple times and induced abortions on herself for the sake of her senior project. and, she will showcase her display next week, complete with her own blood samples and videos from the terminated possible pregnancies.
Quoted from Yale Daily News, she said:
“I believe strongly that art should be a medium for politics and ideologies, not just a commodity,” Shvarts said. “I think that I’m creating a project that lives up to the standard of what art is supposed to be.”
