People also bring up the double standard, where it's ok to be out in super low cut tops and to have billboard advertisement pictures of women in a bra, but not ok to breast feed your kid in public. Personally I don't have a problem with either.
Anyway, I wanted to know what you guys thought. If anyone here has an issue with public breastfeeding, and why.
Not a problem with it personally so long as it's done in good taste. Most mothers do it under a blanket or throw for their own modesty and privacy, but it's a natural life process.
I actually heard someone argue about how breastfeeding in public should be illegal just as public urination is. Apparently this guy got arrested for peeing in an alley as a police car rolled by. No one else see him just the cop. He argued with the cop that what he was doing is a natural thing and no one was around to be offended but a mother can nurse her baby on a park bench. I don't equate the two, but I give him props for trying.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
