ABC's Sawyer Publicizes Left-Wing Effort to Tar U.S. and Advocate for Another Entitlement

Human Rights Watch released a hardly comprehensive report, one "based on interviews with 64 parents across the country," which complained: "Just three countries definitively offer no legal guarantee of paid maternity leave: Papua New Guinea, Swaziland - and the United States."

And now, family leave. A new report from Human Rights Watch found 178 nations guarantee paid leave for new mothers and many new fathers - as much as 16 months in Sweden. So where does America fall? At the bottom of the list with Swaziland and New Guinea.

ABC accompanied its publicity for the report, "Failing its Families: Lack of Paid Leave and Work-Family Supports in the US," with a graphic despairing:

PAID FAMILY LEAVE
U.S. at bottom of the list
