ABC News: Breast-Feeding: Private Act or Public Right?

ABC News: Breast-Feeding: Private Act or Public Right?:

"It is an act millions of new moms do everyday. But when it comes to
breast-feeding, some argue there is a time and a place for it. "


Yes a time and a place for a perfectly healthy natural part of life. This is stupid. If a womyn is whipping her breasts around for all to see while feeding, that is an issue in itself. However most cases it is something that is suttle and easy not to notice if you aren't paying attention, and easy to ignore because if you do notice you shouldn't be paying attention. We are not talking about exposer of body parts, because little of the womyns breast is normally exposed.

It is interesting in a culture of Paris Hilton, look everyone her nipple is showing again, and Britney Spears, who was placed on the cover of the NY Post clearly not wearing underwear (edited of course), would have a problem with this. Our culture is not concerned with exposure of the body, so why are we concerned with a womyn breast feeding in public. Shutting it out of the public square will only make it seem unnatural, and uncommon which could cause more womyn not to breast feed.
