I googled and found something online: http://www.forbes.com/2009/05/04/maternity-leave-laws-forbes...

According to the article the law grants 12 weeks unpaid time off to care for a newborn baby. The old job is guaranteed on the mother's return. The woman must also have worked at the company for at least one year. Moreover, companies with less than 50 employees are exempt from this law so most startups are not bound.

I don't find this law unreasonable.

I do not believe the author is covered by US law.

Ahh... the author of the gamesbrief article seems to be talking about the situation in the UK. It seems a lot different in the US. I wonder if the gender discrimination the author talks about happening in the UK also happens in the US despite considerably laxer laws.
