This article talks about the negative response from a surprising number of readers of Babytalk Magazine when a 2006 magazine cover displayed part of a woman's breast and a baby nursing. While a number of readers were put off by the photo, another responded that she wants people to realize that a breast is more than just a sex object. It goes on to discuss celebrity support for public breast-feeding and how many retailers and restaurants who antagonize breast-feeding women have been subject to "nurse-ins." One of the best lines from the article is from a woman who refuses to feed in a public, questionably clean restroom stating, ""My kid needed to eat.

This was an issue 11 years ago when I was a breastfeeding mom. I had no choice but to take my 8 week old baby with me to a mandatory work meeting. I had a "cover" that is made to drape over me like a pancho. You could see nothing. Not even the baby's feet! I was asked to leave the meeting. That also came with repercussions, obviously out of my control. The mind blowing part of this entire story is my boss was a mother that had nursed her baby when he was little. Wouldn't you think she would understand more than anyone? This article is interesting to me due to the fact that there are laws in place to keep mothers from breastfeeding their children. That is outrageous! You should not feel pressured to bottle feed your child. It is a personal choice. I as a parent, had weighed out the pros and cons of both. And I made the decision to give my daughter a healthy head start. Why should we as human beings, be punished for taking proper care of our children. In my opinion, people need to find something else to complain about. And they will!

Some were angry with this comparison, because the article states that this kind of association correlates corruption to the organization. But in all honesty, is anything corruption free?
