Subject: FW: Breast feeding


I am a 60 year old father of two and grandfather of 6 (soon to be 7), all but one of whom were breastfed. The one not breast fed did not survive long enough to be able to delight in that experience. I find your article to be offensive and really illogical for an attorney.



Comparing the right to breast feed in public to smoking or urinating in public is obscene. Smoking or urinating in public poses a significant health hazard. Breast feeding is just the opposite, It poses significant health benefits for the infant and, if recent research can be believed, for the mother too. 



Should the mother have asked you if you minded? Probably, but to relegate breast feeding to public restrooms (which are largely very unsanitary places) or back rooms or vacant rooms is absurd. Breast feeding is a natural process as God intended. He did not give women breasts to be ornaments for prurient interests. That purpose was invented solely by man. 



Breastfeeding should be celebrated and encouraged for the health of the mother, the infant, and society in general. It should not discouraged by making it some shameful thing that needs to be hidden.
