A Boston mayoral candidate named Michelle Wu would like to extend paid family leave benefits to mothers who abort their unborn babies in elective abortions.

Life News reports:

The New Boston Post reports Wu, a Democrat city council member who is running for mayor, supports adding abortion to a city ordinance that allows up to 12 weeks of paid family leave to parents.

Massachusetts passed a paid family leave law in 2018, and Boston has had a paid family leave ordinance in place since 2015, according to the report. The city ordinance allows parents to take up to 12 weeks of paid time off after the birth of a child, an adoption or stillbirth.

In March, Wu and two other city council members introduced an amendment to add abortion and miscarriage to the list, the Boston Globe reports.

Council member Lydia Edwards said the change would make the city benefits “more equitable.”

Edwards said, “Otherwise would-be parents, who have lost their pregnancy, have to use sick leave or vacation leave, and I don’t find that that is appropriate or fair,” She added, “I think this makes us more equitable. This makes us stronger as a city and acknowledging that there’s a loss of pregnancy and that a person may, they’re not required, but they may need to take leave in order to deal with that.”

So she wants to give women who aborted their babies the sam amount of time off as those who carried them to term and are now recovering themselves and caring for an infant to boot !! This is neither just nor fair. That procedure does not require 12 weeks of recovery…
