Now that Roe v. Wade is no more, the GOP is taking a fresh look at paid family leave…

Republicans are taking a renewed interest in paid family leave — traditionally a Democratic priority — in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade. Why it matters: Republicans urgently want to establish themselves as pro-woman and pro-family, as critics accuse the party of caring about children only before they’re born. The big picture: The U.S. is one of only six countri...
