I just don't want to encounter a scene like this: http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/?p=38572

Wow :eek:
You should never breastfeed while driving. So many health issues apparent here :(

As I mentioned before in this thread, I am not unsympathetic to mothers who choose to breast-feed their babies. I can also understand that they can't always choose when their child will get hungry, and that breast-feeding is a "natural act".

However, that being said, I still feel that the mother should try to make some effort to be discrete. Personally, I think that the Florida and California laws tends to go a bit too far in its attempt to protect the mother's right to breast-feed, though that might just be me.

Yes, it's just you.

I'm childfree and sterile, so I'll never personally be in a position where it's relevant to me, but I think those laws are important.

I don't believe I said those laws were unimportant. Please note that I simply said I thought they went too far in attempting to protect a mother's choice to breast-feed.

As for it being "just me", right now we have one vote that it is so. Anyone else?

No, it's not just you. I know lots of people who feel the same way. Do I agree with that opinion? No. But you're not alone in it.

Politics, religion and breast feeding. Three conversations from which I steer clear.

>mwah!<

I'm right with you. Those laws are important and they're written the way they are for a reason. The loopholes that prudes were using to try to prevent woman from naturally feeding their babies were closed over a course of years.

I always carry a blanket when breastfeeding. That way if we're distressing anyone, I can offer it to them to put over their head.
