Jake,  Thank you for the alert about the need to be really up to date 
about legislation on breastfeeding in public.  I hear you on the 
problems of having to do re-writes of your article because of the 
changing situation.   The additional resources you've sent are really 
great, love the map!

To everyone, once again, thank you very much for all the info, 
opinions, resources, help. The situation has turned out to be very 
much more complex than I had ever imagined!

Jake, will look forward to reading your up to date paper in May!

Just a word of warning about using a 2005 report on state breastfeeding
legislation.  Lots has happened since then.  I suggest using
http://llli.org/Law/LawBills.html for the quickest current breastfeeding law
language by state.  A visual I try to keep updated can be found at
http://www.mothering.com/resources/map.pdf .  To give you an idea of how
quickly these things change, I have an article on workplace pumping law
coming out in May.  I submitted it to editorial in Oct./07 and have had to
rewrite which states have which language in their laws three times since
then.  It too will have a map graphic, like the public breastfeeding link,
and it includes yet another law which will go into effect a few months after
the magazine comes out.  So this is a rapidly changing landscape - on paper
anyway. ;)

Jake Marcus, J.D.
