Hi All,
Just a few minutes ago I saw a new Amnesty International commercial.  It
starts with a colored line drawing of a woman and adds a child who appears to
be Breastfeeding!  Then it shows the baby ripped away and scenes of jails and
prisons.  The commercial talks about about how everyday countries do
unspeakable things to their people.  Then they finish with the mom BF the
baby again (or at least that is what it looks like!) and says something to
the effect that everyone deserves basic human rights.
I wonder if they deliberately included the baby BF to underscore the
importance of BF in the undeveloped countries where so many babies die
needlessly because ABM is pushed on the moms.
Fabulous, huh?
Jay
