EJ Dionne: "Beyond the gay marriage battle, we need a bargain: Liberals should
acknowledge, as Obama has, that strengthening the family is vital to
economic justice. Conservatives should acknowledge that economic justice
is vital to strengthening families.
For example: Our national
policies on sick leave and family leave are among the most anti-family
in the developed world. When faced with a choice between the needs of
the family and the needs of employers, we nearly always tilt toward
employers. Western European nations, influenced by both pro-family
Christian Democrats and pro-labor Social Democrats, have done far more
to make work compatible with family life."
