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. Lactivist is going strong!
