Should men get maternity time

In recent news there has been some hype about giving men the same maternity time as their female counterparts. This is a subject I am torn on, but leading towards no, unless their are underlying circumstances making the need for extra time. I believe men should be given several weeks off when the baby comes home (and prior to birth, if it is a difficult birth and their are other children at home). But to make it a blanket law, I don't totally agree with. They can always use vacation time after the maternity leave ends. Several companies give paid time off for male maternity leave and their is always using vacation time. The people left behind to fill in at your job are already pulled in many directions, this is only adding more to their pockets. for an short point of time.
