On May 7, after an induction and 15 hours of intense labor, Andres gave birth to a stillborn baby girl. The baby weighed 8 pounds and 13 ounces.

Andres was told that maternity leave does not apply to people in her situation, but instead is used for people who “give birth and care for a healthy newborn baby.”
Excuse me, but “a healthy baby”?
Anyone could have a child that doesn’t turn out healthy, but is perfectly capable of living a life.
My favorite part is the implication that if you give birth to an UNhealthy baby, you just naturally be good to go back to work right away, and not like, sitting outside the NICU 24/7.
