your employer would have to have maternity leave built into the compensation package. Maternity and Family Leave care act did mandate that employers had to give you 6 weeks off, but it could be unpaid, depending on the employer. You can't deduct it, but you can look for a new job with a company that offers better benefits.

Deduct what? You didn't get paid. That lowered your taxable income. There's your "deduction".
Employer-paid maternity leave is fully taxable.

You didn't get the income - you don't have anything to deduct..
Different employers and different states have different policies on short term disability payments.
