If it's a legit miscarriage, I wouldn't really have a problem applying whatever sort of bereavement policy to that that applies to others. Presuming that's a reasonable policy of a couple days or whatever. Not at the government level but the business level. The government doesn't need to mandate free time off for every damn thing.
If it's miscarriage due to an abortion, they should have to work 2x the hours for the next week and have to donate all that pay to anti-abortion groups. Starting immediately after they finish their abortion. Because, fuck them I no longer give a shit.
Yeah, that stuff can be pretty emotionally, and even physically, devastating. I'd give any of my people some time off for it. I think any decent job would have in the first place without force.
You can already get paied leave for physical or psychological illness. If you get depression from going through a miscariage, that's covered.
A miscariage itself is not a medical or psychological disability.
This is just another public fund drain to privilege women further.
That's fine then. I'm not a Kiwi so I have no idea how their public funds work. Where I am, paid leave for this type stuff would be covered by employers at their option. Many/most bigger employers and even small business that work in professional space offer all sorts of paid leave options in different ways. If you work at McDonalds part time, then well no. Nor do you get vacation or any other paid time off, because it's part time job.
Can we all remember that a miscarriage != abortion?
That shit can be devastating
Some people like playing soccer on grass. Others like playing on AstroTERF.
Right...so they need our money to take time off to raise the non-existent baby? That makes sense...
I thought they were just clumps of cells? Why do you need time for bereavement?
Edit : I knew this would be controversial.
... Dude. The women who are devastated by a miscarriage are not the same as the bulldykes who think all babies are parasites.
The fun part about the instability of female hormones, especially those during pregnancy, is those two can in fact be the same person a couple weeks apart.
You know as well as I do this is about celebrating abortions.
No, I don't know that, because I'm not fucking insane. Try going outside and talking to people.
Yes, miscarriages are emotionally devastating for women, and such emotions are useful for subversive politics. Try going outside and talking to a
demonpolitician.Do you live in New Zealand?
Do you?
No, but I'm not the one claiming that it isn't a feminist hellhole.
It's New Zealand. The vast majority, if not all of them, are pro-abortion.
... And? Believing that women should have the choice to kill their unborn children does not mean you want to kill your own.* Even if the women who miscarry are pro-choice, miscarriages are still horrible. They still lost a child. That kind of thing can really fuck people up.
And on a related note: It is possible to be against feminism and women's thottery while also having compassion.
*I'm actually pro-life, but it's not hard to understand their perspective on this issue.
Having compassion for those who want you to perish is a weakness. Again, we're talking about New Zealand, where feminism rules over everything. Compassion was left behind when they elected Ardern.
It is bereavement combined with a chemical nightmare of pregnancy hormones, etc fucking everything up.
Yep its just like taking a shit, all shit has dead cells in it. Does a shit deserve bereavement?
The law specifically covers stillbirths and miscarriages.
Law seems to apply to both parents.
Can you reply to me. I'm testing something?
Is this part of The Plan to kill you?
No, it's part of the plan to milk our wallets before they kill us.

Poor thing, will you ever recover from paying for such undeserving people as [checks notes] women who had miscarriages?
Umm, yeah? It's not my fucking responsibility to pay for them.
In my 20-year professional career, I've never seen a woman come back to the office after their "maternity leave," except one time. And that one time, she had another kid about a year later and quit after that maternity leave.
The whole point of "maternity leave" was to preserve the careers of the people who took it. There should be claw-back provisions for people who abuse it.
Them
And? If women decide not to work to take care of their kids, that sounds great to me.
Perhaps. But it's not a bad thing for people to take care of their kids...
I don't live in NZ, so of course I will.
I just hope it doesn't propagate across the world like every other gendered fuck up law they ever created.
Happy "equal pay day" - something that we never had to deal with outside of feminist propaganda articles before fucking NZ made it a real thing.
Let's hope this sensible law is enacted elsewhere as well.
Yes, bring up irrelevant nonsense to distract from the fact that this is an eminently reasonable law.
If a baby is just a clump of cells, then a miscarriage isn't a problem. You can't have it both ways.
Depends on the stage of the pregnancy.
Either a baby is a human or it isn't. That would make abortion equal murder and miscarriages equal a loss.

It's not there yet or anything, TheImpossible1 will let me know if it is.
If it's legit, why not. It really sucks to have a miscarriage and it's as good a reason as all the other dumbass things people take leave for.

What's the problem? It is just a clump of cells.
The Redditor trying to discredit your post, z827, is an account made to cause trouble. It joined one day ago and has been bragging about actively browsing furfag and coomer subs on Reddit, arguing that they're not degenerate and that it's people who aren't furfags and coomers that are degenerate, arguing we need more porn in videogames, and saying you're a retarded autistic puritard if you don't. If you tell the truth about him he lies about you and uses sock accounts to vote manipulate and argue with you. One's DWSage007.
...Seriously, guy. You can let go of the delusions any time now.
You get downvoted to shit because you're unhinged and because you care about internet points. And if u/z827 had a non-handshake account, wouldn't they have used that in the first place? (Because hey, if you're going to talk shit about someone, at least have the decency to say it to their face.)
HAHAHAHAHAHA, he's so obsessed with discrediting people exposing him, he replied to this post at the bottom of some random thread in an hour. Thanks for proving my point to u/TheImpossible1, retard. You just can't help yourself.
