In the News

Well lately there have been some interesting stories in the news. I found this article written for a conservative newsletter that is very much in favor of nursing in public. From the article:

Think about it. We’ve got people out there in the world who are offended by Christmas decorations, religious symbols, music, literature, movies, free speech (if they don’t agree with the speaker) and even the act of eating meat. What are
we supposed to do? Should we just stay at home, keep our mouths (and shirts)closed and read books about how to be more sensitive to others?
And now an arrogant flight attendant has chosen to be offended by the simple act of a mother feeding her child in the most natural and healthy way. What’s next? Seriously folks – we’re reaching a point in which just about anything we do or say runs the risk of offending someone else.

I also found this hilarious opinion piece in which the author responds to several comments against the Gillette family (who, you may recall, were kicked off an airplane for breastfeeding) and nursing in public in general.

And for good measure, here are one or two more articles on the nurse in at Delta ticket counters.

And here is a hilarious video about the flu shot, its ingredients, and people's reactions.



In other Lactivist news, Senator Krueger has introduced the Breastfeeding Mother's Bill of Rights. The Bill was introduced into the New York Senate and outlines rights of Breastfeeding Mothers, and also those women who are pregnant and planning on breastfeeding.

And, just because it's Monday and we can all use a good laugh, a funny breastfeeding video.
