For another lovely example of this, see the first inside page of LLLI's new
pamphlet, "When you breastfeed your baby: getting started."  Our own Nancy
Mohrbacher makes the point very gracefully and clearly.

Just as an aside, imagine the head of the AMA approaching the Surgeon
General, requesting that he change the package warning to read:

"Surgeon General¹s Encouragement:  Not Smoking by Pregnant Women May Result
in Fetal Health, Full-Term Birth and Normal Birth Weight"
