Here in Alaska, we are working on passing a breastfeeding bill plus our
Senator is a co-sponsor on the National Bill.  A few editorials appeared
in the local paper but this one takes the cake!  Please note that the
woman did NOT say they breastfed "discretely".

What's the breast-feeding (sic) fuss? (Editorial)

Anchorage Daily News, 4-27-98

"I am 80 years old, and I wonder what the world is coming to when a law
needs to be passed to allow a woman to breast-feed her baby in public.
When I was growing up, nearly all women, especially those in rural areas,
breast-fed their babies.  Mothers took their babies everywhere, and when
they were hungry, they exposed their breast and fed them.  Many times I
have seen babies breast-fed in church while the minister delivered a
sermon.  This was accepted as a way of life.

I remember going to an auction on a neighbor's farm.  It was summertime,
and a few of us were sitting on a porch.  A mother was breast-feeding her
baby.  She had large breasts.  A man sitting on a bench beside me looked
at the mother feeding her baby and turned to me and remarked in a low
voice,  "She sets a good table."
