"This reminds me of the argument where the risks of epidurals are not
mentioned, because if it impedes breastfeeding, so what?"

a couple of weeks ago, my friend who is a health reporter for the newspaper
was assigned to write an article about epidurals. the topic of the article
was "why are epidural rates so much lower in (a neighboring county)?" being
the breastfeeding-centered person that she is, she immediately took hold of
the subject and shifted it over to breastfeeding. most of her article focused
on quotes from me about how epidurals may or may not affect breastfeeding. i
saw her the other day and she said the anesthesiologists have been calling
her up by the dozens to complain about her article. they keep telling her
that epidurals don't have any risks.

ha!
