Focusing on motherhood alone, our society seldom acknowledges its importance. This is just one small way in which we can recognize that the duties of motherhood take precedence over other things. Jury duty is important, but it can wait because taking care of children is even more important.
Many judges already accommodate caregivers who are called for jury service, but the system is not standard from one court jurisdiction to another. If a person is willing to forego a second income in the interest of being a primary caregiver, why should the government demand jury duty when it could be deferred until the child is past the critical years.
