Breastfeeding in Public

I'm a breastfeeding advocate. Period. I don't care how, when or where you feed your baby. Babies have a right to eat and women should choose how they want to breastfeed. They should be  free to do so uncovered without a single hint of someone telling them to be "modest" or "discreet."  Very interesting article!

"There is a wide range of opinions on what constitutes good judgment with regards to how women dress themselves and how much they should or should not cover up. Any time a woman is told to cover up or told to undress, I see that as an attack on her person. Telling women to cover up and telling women to strip down are frequently used tactics for oppressing women. There are both practical and philosophical reasons why no one other than the woman herself should decide how covered or uncovered to be. It is easier for onlookers to avert their eyes than it is for a woman to dress in a way that makes her feel uncomfortable."
