I think it is important to point out that a distinction must be made between 
how we would prefer people behave and what we thing people should be 
required to do or risk losing the right to breastfeed in public.  Since both 
discretion and politeness are subjective, people are certaiinly free to 
decide how they prefer nursing in public be done.  However, we should not 
decide for other people what subjectively judged conduct can result in the 
loss of the right to breastfeed.  We may all hold our own opinion but, like 
manners generally, they are personal standards that should not be imposed by 
outside forces - certainly not the state.  The right to breastfeed should be 
protected by the state - without the imposition of personal standards 
concerning the manner in which it is done.

Yours,
Jake Marcus, J.D.
