Liz and Jodine exchanged: NY's law came into effect
because of

Maybe this is a US thing. The words nurse-in and rally
don't evoke
different
images I my mind.

-------------------

I have been to one nurse in that was intended as
educational.  It was very low key- ooops 2- they were
very low key.  One was at a swimming pool and many
went swimming afterwards.  the other was at a deli-
oddly enough, right around the corner from the pool,
and many of the attendees ate lunch.  Sadly, with the
first one, the local press printed a photo of a very
angry looking mother on the front page.  No one was
angry- I doubt that particular woman was angry, but
for some very strange reason, that's what we got.

"We" can't control the media; we can only get our
views out in the way we can.  I respect your opinion
very highly Liz, and I'll send Felina of The Upper
Breast Side a synopsis of your thoughts.  She has not
presented any information in the form of planning a
protest, fwiw.
