The lack of US paid parental leave policies has increasingly gained public and political attention. Yet it is unclear whether public support for such a policy will translate to enactment. To better understand support for leave, we compare it to another major gender policy issue: abortion rights. Using a unique question from the 2012 General Social Survey, our logistic models show that: (a) respondents who support more liberal abortion policy are more likely to support some amount of leave rather than no leave; and (b) abortion rights support does not distinguish between respondents who support some paid leave over a more robust leave policy. We also highlight that the strongest support for leave comes from political liberals and those who hold progressive views toward gender roles, who are also abortion rights supporters. Overall, sources of policy support for the two issues somewhat overlap, but findings also echo the previously discussed divided and inconsistent landscape of US gender-family policy
