What Conservative leaders are saying
IN SUPPORT OF PAID FAMILY LEAVE

Rick Santorum
Former U.S. Senator
“Republicans need to roll up their sleeves, reach across the aisle, and get a new federal paid-leave program enacted. Paid parental leave is good policy and good politics.”
-
Kristan Hawkins
President of Students for Life
"The more safety nets and resources available for families, the more unthinkable abortion becomes.”
-
Carlos Duran
President, National Hispanic Pastors Alliance
“Hispanic communities stand with Biblical values that promote faith and family. We need policies like paid family leave that reflect and honor our community and values.”
