The right to refuse formula company "gifts"? This is offensively disingenuous. 
Not only because it implies women have so little right of self-determination 
that they wouldn't have the right to refuse any gift unless this right were 
granted to them by law, but more importantly, because it forces us to accept 
a new definition of these items as "gifts."

These products are not gifts. We receive malaria from mosquitoes without 
asking for it--does that make malaria a gift?
