Think about it. If this law passes that means money will be going back into the pockets of lower class people. Can't have that now can we? Instead they oppose it because it means that there will be more money in the government coffers to raid for bailing out corporate criminals and crooked Republicans.

Yet it's a mistake to just lump the religious conservatives in with the corporate elite-- there is an alliance and there are issues where the desire for corporate profit should conflict with the pro-family beliefs of deeply religious people. The far more independent Catholic activists reflect this and it is interesting how much the evangelical right has let their own agenda get subordinated to their corporate allies

Here's a possible rationalization:
Mothers shouldn't require paid leave because they shouldn't have jobs.
Fathers shouldn't require paid leave because their job is as breadwinners, not emasculated Mr. Moms.
So paid leave is against the value of the traditional families.

The acid test for this would probably have something to do with welfare reform--by this standard sending mothers out to work is a bad idea. Maybe welfare mothers count as fallen women whose children should be in orphanages, I don't know. (As you can tell, trying to be sympathetic to the religious conservatives' point of view is a strain.)

Frankly, Nathan, I'm more inclined to your point of view--the evangelical right is letting its agenda get set by fat cats. I think there is some overlap though: Remember Mr. Lay saying "I believe in God and I believe in free markets"? Sometimes I think that the right wing sees riches as a sign of divine favor, as in The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (IIRC).
