New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez bemoaned major U.S. employers give women who give birth inadequate time away from work and compared some U.S. paid leave programs to the time female dogs are recommended to stay with their puppies.
"Do we know how long puppies are allowed to stay with their mothers after a dog has given birth?” Ocasio-Cortez asked during a congressional hearing on paid family leave programs. "Eight weeks. So, the market has decided that women and people who give birth deserve less time with their children than a dog."
Experts testifying before the committee said the average length of a paid family leave program is six to eight weeks.
The freshman Democrat was grilling Rachel Greszler, a research fellow at the Heritage Foundation with years of research on paid family leave programs.
“As a woman who has given birth to six children," Greszler told the Washington Examiner, "I find being compared to a breeding dog with puppies incredibly offensive.”
