Unfortuantely, as long as it is exporessed as the mother's right to nurse her infant anywhere they happen to be, I don't think we will get far.  We have to concentrate on the BABY's right to eat whenever and wherever the need arises or we will continue to hear comoplaints about "pushy", "extremist", "exhibitionist" women!  If it was all about the mom, she could wait or cowtow to other's insensitivities.  But babies have no sense of time and when they need, they need now and here, not according to someone else';s wishes.
