Palin Precedence Dangerous

Does anyone else feel Palin is setting a dangerous precedence for mothers. 


I already feel my boss's expectations of me have changed since Palins story has become huge news. I fear Palins example of working right up until birth and returning 3 days after birth is a huge step back for womens maternity leave issues. How fortunate for her that she is her own boss, no ones going to tell her not to bring the baby to work, but most women don't enjoy that luxury. 


In March I will delivery a baby, and I don't plan on returning to work for at least 6 weeks.  How will women be judged in the future when they make this choice instead of returning days after birth?

You've put words into my mouth, no wonder you don't believe them. You would be the one to know that your statement it false.
