I want the adoption laws changed so that a woman who is willing to give up her baby is not punished for that by being barred from it for life. I regard these laws - which are pretty universal in the West - as both inhumane and based on a false premise (that is, that you can get a baby to bond with any couple as it would with its physical parents; which has repeatedly been shown to be nonsense). My view is that adoption should be changed to be something more like fostering, allowing some contact with the original parents if they wish, and with less huge and absurd bureaucratic obstacles - which at any rate do not keep real villains away and only manage to send willing parents to purchase babies in unregulated third world countries.
I also approve of European laws against dismissing or victimizing pregnant women employees.
