Thanks to Janice Reynolds for spotting this column, which unfortunately will
validate the prejudices of many, many people.

Moroney: Breast-feeding mom milks the legal system

Sunday, August 4, 2002

"Mind if I burp in your ear?
Really. The next time I spot you in a fancy restaurant, I'll be over just as
your main course arrives to deliver a nice big blast.
Would you scream for the waiter to have me removed?
You should.
I don't know much but I do know this: Bodily functions are best kept to
ourselves.
And, yet, this same sort of in-your-face "au naturel" nonsense is exactly
what the rest of us are being asked to tolerate whenever one of those zany
moms breast-feeds in public.
Have you heard the latest? A New Hampshire mom says her civil rights were
trashed when a lifeguard at a pool blew the whistle and asked her if she
wouldn't mind stuffing her peek-a-boos back into her shirt."
