Efforts regarding breastfeeding in public failed in several states in the last year--some of the comments made by legislators were unbelievable. So, while progress had been made in some places; in others, it has failed. Public perception has a lot to do with it. There is a place for all kinds of activism, whether it be through organizations, individual letter writing, nurse-ins etc. In a situation where an individual b'ness owner does something, I tend to agree w/ the late Liz B. that a nurse-in is not as effective as education. In this case, however, where a national TV show is saying negative things, a highly publicized event countering such comments, seemed to be a just response.
