hmmm, I'm not personally involved in the nurse-in effort in San Diego but 
am privy to their fervent posts. I also thought that the exact 
circumstances were not very powerful abuses (albeit incredibly rude and 
ignorant) but I do see that these moms're just trying to raise awareness 
for the employees of VS and elsewhere who don't know any better. I don't 
know how else employees would hear about the issue. I doubt that employers 
add bf-friendliness to their regualr new-employee training.

There's so much energy going into this effort that I feel remiss to try to 
suggest to them that they call it off...???  especially since it's going 
on around the nation whether it's called off in SD or not. I hear that 
Mothering's chat boards are abuzz, altho I haven't seen them.

When California lawmakers were gathering to make laws about homebirthing & 
midwives, we absolutely overwhelmed them with nursing moms and other 
homebirth family members and supporters and the message proved very 
powerful and effective. It was amazing to see some of the black-suited 
doctors staring at breastfeeders as if they had never seen it or known how 
it worked before (and that was probably the case). I know this is a 
different circumstance, but...
