Breast-feeding in public
A new law has been passed in our nations smallest state, Rhode Island. As of today, mothers have the right to breast-feed in public under a new law. Previously, there was nothing stating mothers couldn't breast-feed in public however there was nothing in place that directed business to allow it either. This new law also gives mothers the right to sue businesses or others who violate their right. I'm hoping this will start a new trend for all states to pass similar laws. I am pleased that this state has recognized that there is nothing wrong with women breast-feeding in public. I feel that this is a great day for breast-feeding mothers. This has been such a controversial debate for so long and i think this law is long overdue.

I don't know why people have to make such a big deal out of a kid having lunch. Aren't there bigger issues to worry about?
Geesh!
Thanks Blondie... I live in MA but didnt know about this new law... think its great! Thanks for the info!
Seriously? Why do people have a problem with women breastfeeding? How do they expect babies to eat?
Now, it just so happens that a woman in Ohio was recently cited for breastfeeding while driving. Yes, WHILE driving. That, in my opinion, should be outlawed!

Who knows, it could be good for businesses that have slowed in light of the sagging economy! oh - no pun intended.
I think this is a great thing!!!
