Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has stark opinions on U.S. paid family leave policies.

“Puppies aren’t separated from their moms until ~8 weeks. Less than that is thought of as harmful or abusive.” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Tuesday. “One of the most common lengths of US paid family leave is ~6 weeks.”

“I have to disclose that I have a stake in this fight,” she said. “When I was first starting my office here, I decided to offer 12 weeks of paid family leave. And in my first 11 or 12 months in office there have been six pregnancies in my congressional office. And six folks have taken pregnancy or medical leave — 5 of them men in my office, new fathers or folks that are taking medical leave — taking care of their families.

Story continuesVicki Shabo, a senior fellow at New America, a think tank focusing on public policy issues, told the hearing that six-to-eight weeks is the most common length of paid family leave. She also agreed with Ocasio-Cortez’s points.

I like you but most of us treat our dogs like we do our children..

How many weeks in dog years is that?

She's cute with those glasses.

for what it's worth, dogs are treated very well!

At the vet, they take your dog in to see doctor, no questions asked, don’t even ask for insurance up front. Why can’t women get that treatment?

Political Correctness run amok

'like.... you know, dogs and stuff, i yield back'

Some dogs get treated better than people.
