That's religion for ya. The hard core right!!! Don't forget we need to yank out all the condom machines out of the restrooms! Some religious fuck might get offended for christs sake.

Yet we got priests raping 10 year old boys ... No problem there! Just sweep that up under the rug too. Oh and 16 year old's that are getting pregnant with religion telling em not to get an abortion since they can't figure out what to do with a condom.

This country get's wacked by the second.

This has nothing to do with the right wing or religion. It is about breast feeding. I am a christian and a republican and I am not offended in anyway with a woman breast feeding. That is what they should do. Regardless of all the wack jobs saying otherwise.
 
HAH! this is my local mall up the street. When my wife gives birth to our 3rd child in august, we'll take the kids up to play in the food court where they have a play area. I'll have her brest feed the baby and report back. Expect an update in 8 months or so.

While I would love to agree with this, IMEXP religious views often come into play when dealing with parts of the human body being exposed.

The kinds of women who make a stink about this like this woman refuse to cover up. They're out to "catch" a place asking them to knock it off.

Not all babies will eat with a cover draped over them. And if you don't need to cover a baby who's eating with a bottle, why would a breast be any different? Women can be discrete about breastfeeding without using a cover.
 
I don't know, it was weird to see a mom breastfeeding her child at an airport. It doesn't bother me that much, but I didn't really want to see it either.

The video cracks me up. The chick/mom in question sounds like a retarded. "I can breastfeed wherever I'm at", "______ at", meh. And then the epic beard man "doesn't bother me, baby's gotta eat" haha.

Youre a fool. There are MANY countries FAR more religeous than ours who arent NEARLY as prudish about sex. Its not about religion.
 
Wow, it's amazing how certain aspects of society and even religion can brainwash so many against our own most basic and natural things in life, how sad.

Breastfeeding seems to raise eyebrows in state atheist countries as well.

"My baby started crying when I was on the train that day and I knew he was hungry," Lu said.

"I hesitated to begin with, but decided to feed him when he got louder and louder.

"I knew some people were staring, some disapproved and I felt embarrassed, but I had no choice."

Lu later visited Internet forums for support, but found most people were offended by mothers breastfeeding their children in public places.
...
Xiao Hong, mother of a 1-year-old boy, said she almost never went out during her maternity leave, as she had to take care of her son.

"I never breastfed my child in public places. It's much too revealing," she said.

"Even when I breastfed at home, I would not do it until others left the room. I don't want others to see my naked body.

i remember one time while at the san diego zoo watching a lady sit down on one of the park benches and then her son, who looked to be all of 3 going on 5, walked over to her, climbed up on her lap, then went in for the kill shot. very odd to watch that.

That does seem odd. My wife watched something on television with a woman fighting for the right to come to school to breastfeed her first grader. I don't want the power to control when breast feeding has to end, but it seems to me that at some point it ceases to be about health and becomes some sort of bizarre fetish.

Recommendations for breast feeding generally extend a lot longer than uptight Americans (myself included before I got married and learned a bit) would like to admit, but I haven't seen one yet that extends to 6 years old =).

So if a man does something like this, then he is placed on the child molestation/sex crime list. What a stupid world.

In what why could a man feed his child that would put him on a child molestation/sex crime list?

If you are talking about a guy whipping out his penis (not sure if i want to finish the thought here...), that's an entirely different thing from a mother breastfeeding her child.

And men can go around topless too if they wish

You try taking off your shirt in the average American mall and see what happens.
 
If more women breast fed their children, this would be a non-issue.

Don't give me some <religion here> bullshit about your sacred text not allowing breast feeding because, you know it is not true.
