This is a liberal store that caters to wacky health nuts, and no doubt this woman was doing what she did as a form of protest that the news has been covering lately. However, this is also a public place of business and certain rules still apply: no shirt, no service, for example. I am uncertain if she was informed that she had to cover up or leave, I did not ask around, but decency toward others should have informed her that it would have been better to cover her breast and the baby with a light blanket at least. After all, not everyone wants to see a naked breast, no matter how natural breastfeeding is.
I also don't want to see the Inland Empire bro with his belly hanging over his board shorts, but I don't have any room to tell him he can't go shirtless... and he's not even giving a baby the nutrition it needs and can only get properly from its mother possibly baring her breast.
Seriously: it's a boob. it's not an icky, scary thing, and it's mostly necessary, if at least ideal, for feeding a kid until a certain age. That's what it's there for. I don't understand at all why public breastfeeding is an issue. I don't even have kids, nor do I plan on having them, but it's just a damn boob.
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
