To clarify, I certainly did not mean to offend anyone with my statement. I
was just trying to make a point, in that forum. I'm sure that the
unfortunate young women who must loose one or both of their breasts also
mourn the fact that they will not be able to breast-feed their infants (in
the case of both being taken). I was just pointing out that breasts are a
part of being women, and while they were created to provide nourishment, it
is silly to argue that that is the only "value" that should be placed on
them. On issues like public breast-feeding, we have to deal with society
where they're at, not the ideal. I apologize to anyone who may have been
hurt by that particular statement. I cannot begin to imagine what those
women must go through!
