In Canada where I live all women receive monthly baby bonuses from the government for 18 years, as well as 1 year paid maternity leave which is a portion of their income. It's also illegal to fire a woman for taking advantage of mat leave, so temps usually take 1-year contracts in their place.

The whole lying-about-birth-control thing may not happen often, but it does happen.
Sorry, I should have explicitly referred to the men in general that Torontocheeka was defending, not she herself.

Nope. Just those eligible based on income. It's not a "baby bonus" as much as it's a "helping people afford the kids they have bonus".
