A minor correction:

The maternity leave regulations in Norway have two different time
periods to be choosen from:

a) 44 weeks with 100% of regular wages, OR
b) 54 weeks with 80% of regular wages.

As per january 2013, the maximum annual maternity leave payment provided
by the public social welfare system in Norway is limited to NOK 492,732
(equal to approx. US$ 91,250).

Ahh, but in the good old U.S. of A., we don't give a damn about the
health and welfare of mother and child once the fetus is delivered.

You are correct. What truly amazes me about these so called Christian
right wingers is that they think they are all for taking care of a fetus
that feels now pain, and biologically isn't a person until birth, but
the fact is, the pain that person may suffer after birth (might be born
with horrid defects, addictions, grow up in a crack house or worse, lead
a horribly life, etc) is of no consequence. Why is that?
