Conservative Lies About "Caring About Children"

As Noted in a previous post, the Christofascists and their political whores in the Republican Party always claim to be concerned about "the children."  Meanwhile, the policies they espouse are the antithesis of those one would back if one actually gave a damn about children and families.  The map above is an indictment of the conservatives who oppose paid leave and other programs that allow mothers to actually care for their children.  Andrew Sullivan notes as follows:

Lest we be too pleased with ourselves for remembering to call mom on Sunday, Ezra reminds us how tough it is for working mothers in the US, who have no guarantees of paid time off to care for an infant or a sick child:

While a handful of states, like California, offer modest paid maternal leave, there’s no federal guarantee of either paid maternal or paternal leave. We make mothers choose between spending a month with their newborn child or keeping a roof over their child’s head. That’s not how it looks in countries that value the work mothers do.

 The hypocrisy of these folks and their robber baron allies is absolutely stunning.
