We probably need to keep the politics out of this list as much as possible.  While I fully understand the underinsured issue, and the need for paid maternity leave, as they pertain to breastfeeding, the implication that the US President doesn't value children because he veto'd this bill is overly simplistic.  In fact, this bill would have funded government provided services for many children (and their entire families) who are already insured elsewhere.

Back to breastfeeding........(and a closet conservative no more, I guess!  :-)
