This article gives points from both sides of the spectrum regarding Abortion. It is a super controversal subject. Some people believe that even if you dont want the child, that you should at least wait out the pregnancy and then give the baby up for adoption. On the other hand, you have this person that has no interest in this child that they are carrying, so are they really going to make sure that it is a healthy pregnancy? Like no drinking, or smoking, taking all the pre-natal vitamins...and if the answer is no, then is it doing more harm putting a baby through future potential problems? All these questions are what make this topic so difficult to argue for or against and to be absolutly sure about the decision.

In this brief article, a woman was reprimanded by her employer for breast-feeding her 3-month-old son in a Fort Brag mini-mall.

Although the employee did not want to make anyone uncomfortable or cause any further issue after her reprimand both North Carolina and federal law, allow women to breast-feed in public, even if their breast is exposed.

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!
