My husband and I had the TV on today watching Fox News while we ate  lunch.  
A report came on in a lawyer's segment (that was one of the 3 women  on the 
segment).  The report was on women's right's to breastfeed in  public.  They did 
mention "The View" and the nurse-in at ABC.  One of  the guest was a young 
woman who argued that she did not want to have to watch a  woman breastfeed in 
front of her and compared it to not wanting to have to watch  a pap smear done 
in public.  She said both were important but not in  public.  The other woman 
was laughing through out this woman's comments and  then made some very good 
points on why there should be legal protection for  women to breastfeed their 
babies where ever they need to.  The lawyer who  was moderating the discussion 
seemed to be favoring breastfeeding in  public.  The lawyer also agreed that 
any language regarding what is  "discreet" is a bad idea.
 
As my husband watched this and I filled him about Barbara Walter's comments  
and then her back peddling trying to say it was the man sitting next to her 
that  was uncomfortable.  My husband said that if he were the man sitting on  
that plane he would come forward and point out how Barbara is lying.  
My husband also said that all this public attention to breastfeeding is  
good.  I totally agree.
