I agree with your sentiment, but I think your suggestions are not enough.
I like the Idea of combined sick and personal leave, but NOT vacation. If I am going to the DR. is it sick time or personal leave? Sometimes there is not the distinction there. But vacation is vacation. Time off to rest, relax, and recoup motivation and de-stress.
However I DO think that Maternity leave should be taken from vacation and/or sick time and then taken un-paid. Having a baby is a choice in this era. there are more than enough ways to plan a pregnancy that anyone who has a baby (excepting the 1%-3% who get prego on the pill) has made a choice to have sex with the chance of getting pregnant. I would encourage the Government to support maternity leave, sort of like un-employment or disability.
See my post for more opinions on this topic... I was getting long winded.
