We are working to amend the Family and Medical Leave Act to include paid leave for employees who experience the spontaneous loss of an unborn child, ensuring grieving parents have time to recover. Additionally, the legislation provides a refundable tax credit to support individuals affected by stillbirth.

I support caring for families—but federal overreach into business is a slippery slope. Better to leave this to employers’ discretion.

Finally, Congress is giving grief the respect—and time off—it deserves. Because healing is a policy, not a privilege.

This bill strikes a balance—supporting grieving parents without opening the floodgates. Let’s see it in action before we celebrate.

Taking a stand for families in mourning? About time we put people over profits and pain over paychecks.

Sympathies noted, but governments shouldn’t micromanage every personal sorrow. Family leave is one thing; forced paid leave is another.

Leave for loss is a tough but necessary step. Still, we should watch the costs and consequences closely.

Another excuse for more time off—how long before work becomes a casualty? Let’s not monetize grief into government mandates.

When the government cares about loss, it’s a win for humanity. Bereavement leave isn’t just HR fluff; it’s basic dignity.

Okay, extending leave makes sense—but let’s hope employers don’t drag their feet on implementation. Compassion’s good, but clarity is key.
