You obviously have your view and it's immovable, but if you look around I think you'll find a strong "entry level neo-liberal" argument in support of maternity pay when used as a method to keep women in the working economy / return them to the working economy asap. The Torys actually had returning mothers to work as policy aim with the whole child care credits thing.
On removing mat pay I think the rational is based on the impact that things such as mat pay have on very small businesses where it's not just a question of covering the extra cost, but the time cost involved in recruiting a temp replacement. Even decent sized businesses with HR departments can find recruitment a huge drain.
Personally I'd argue for an increased mat pay subsidiary for business under a certain size. Especially as many small business will just not hire women likely to become pregnant anyway - so that may mitigate it... possibly. But trying to present it as an evil Tory scum argument is a bit simplistic I think.
