Meghan McCain had a baby and now realizes that the US needs paid maternity leave, she explains on The View. She says personal experience helped open her eyes. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=451062642587477
McCain: "I started getting angry that conservatives in particular, given we are the party of family values.. that we are leaving women in this country without the capacity and ability to heal physically [after childbirth]"
McCain: "maybe it takes personal experience sometimes to get on board"

YES ... think about that...
I should clarify that she did get paid time off -- she apparently wanted to only take six weeks and then needed more b/c of medical issues, then it just clicked for her that most women don't have that luxury.
