The National Partnership for Women & Families and Paid Leave for All created this new map to show that in all of the states that have taken extreme measures to ban abortion, none of those states offer paid family leave.

Since the fall of Roe vs. Wade, twenty six states have banned or are likely to ban abortion, none of whom will then offer new mothers any paid family leave. Over a dozen states have affirmatively made paid leave a priority and created their own policies, in absence of a federal policy for paid leave for families.

Image is a map of the United States entitled State of the Union for Women. The image is in shades of pink and red was created by National Partnership for Women & Families and Paid Leave for All. The map shows three categories of states: (1) states that have banned or are likely to ban abortion since Dobbs (26 states); (2) states that have passed paid leave (14 states including DC); (3) states that do not fall into either of the first two categories (11 states).
