The United States is one of just two countries along with Papua New Guinea that does not guarantee paid parental leave to men or women, according to CBS. President Obama, President Trump and President Biden have all supported paid parental leave, but have not implemented policy surrounding the issue. Biden has proposed providing 12 weeks of paid family leave under the American Families Plan, but has not been able to garner bipartisan support to pass the measure."You know, that's one of the things I think makes you feel so frustrated with Washington, in general, is that you can have a lot of agreement around something, but still it's very difficult to get anything done and to get it through and to become law," Allred said, according to CBS.
