We have far to go. Baby steps...

I spoke with a co-worker this week planning to go to the Day at the
Capital in Madison, WI. She called ahead to find out where she would
be able to pump. It took a few calls to get her answer which was
disappointing. There is no public place to pump except for public
restrooms. I suggested she make a point of asking several times while
she was there in hopes of affecting change in the future. I plan to
find out later this week what ended up happening.

If you are allowed to breastfeed anywhere you are allowed to be, what
would happen if you were to pump anywhere you are allowed to be?
Indecent exposure, I would imagine.
