As the son of a single mother, I don't accept an America that forces women to choose between their kids and their careers.
I'll be a President who stands up for the American family.
That's wrong for America's children, and American families.
You shouldn't have to lose your wages or quit your job to care for a newborn baby, or a sick child, or an elderly parent.
