4. Reflect on the information you found. Write a complete paragraph explaining whether you
support the bill or the law. Include at least two reasons to explain your position.

After reading this spell, I can say that I do agree with it. One reason being that these on the first member
shouldn’t have been given any trouble to begin with one trying to take an administration absence when
trying to go or to go with a partner to get noncovered reproductive health care. Another reason would
have to be that you can not only take the leave to get non-covered reproductive healthcare. They will
also give you an allowance for the travel cost of you and or your partner/dependent. They were also
given a minimum of 21 days of that leave. So this is why I agree with this bill.
