WASHINGTON | As the House passed legislation last week to give federal civilian employees four weeks of paid leave for the birth or adoption of a child, Virginia Sens. Jim Webb and John Warner were part of a group pushing a similar bill on the other side of the Capitol. The legislation we introduced today is an issue of fairness for the working family," said Webb, its chief patron. "The federal government should set the standard for family-friendly workplace policy that supports new families.
A proposal to provide eight weeks of paid parental leave to federal employees was cut to four weeks by a key House Democrat last week as Republican expressed concerns about the benefit's cost. Still, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said four weeks of paid leave for the birth or adoption of a child would make the government a leader in strengthening families and was a "prudent fiscal approach.
AUSTIN-This week Senator Leticia Van de Putte (D-San Antonio) and Representative Ruth Jones McClendon (D-San Antonio) filed legislation that would allow parents to take two weeks of paid accrued leave or collect unemployment benefits if no leave has been accrued for a new birth, adoption or placement of a foster child. SB 692 and HB 1057 are part of family leave legislative package filed by Senator Van de Putte and Representative McClendon that also includes SB 649 and HB 1005 which allows parents to leave work briefly to attend parent-teacher conferences or participate in their child's school activities. These bills are aimed at making Texas business more family friendly workplaces.

Editor, the Tribune: I have always been "pro-life" and against abortion on demand as was allowed under Roe v. Wade. However, to overturn this law would be only a partial solution to this problem. Before you vote for a candidate for president, Congress or state office, please consider if he or she is really pro-life or is just trying to get votes. Pro-life, to me, means you should support abortion alternatives that help the woman decide to keep her baby. A woman needs to feel she can have help to raise her baby properly abortion alternatives such as paid maternity leave, health care for herself and the baby, a livable wage and good adoption service if she decides not to keep the baby.
