The even crazier part is maternity leave, or the lack of it.

The US government requires that women who have been at their job for more than one year get 12 weeks of unpaid time off. But many people can't afford to not be paid, so they don't take the full amount.

Women who have been at their job for less than one year legally get 0 days off.

Less than 25% of US women have any type of paid maternity leave.

Yet, birth rate in USA is significantly higher than in Finland for example

Quite high in Somalia too. I'd suggest there are more factors than paid maternity leave.
