> Ohio has no parental leave laws, especially ones that provide women with automatic 6 to 8 weeks of disability leave for the period before and after childbirth.

How is this a "personal liberty" thing? This in turn is probably violating the freedom of association that employers have...

>breastfeeding and other pregnancy related accommodations, and gives employees the right to sit at work if they do not need to stand

All of these trade one liberty for the other.

Of course, there is no free lunch. But nature dictates that if you want society to have workers in the future, women need to make a huge sacrifice.

So you can either worry about the small picture and employers losing a little freedom about who they have to employ. Or you can look at the big picture and realize that for women to maintain financial independence and still be incentivized to have kids, society needs to offer them something.
