I prouldy breastfeed in public or anywhere else my son so chooses to be hungry. Restaurants, the mall, the grocery store, on a walk at the marina -- I don't care. He has as much right to eat as any other person regardless of where I happen to be. If somebody has a problem with it then get a blanket. They can use it to cover their ego and their head. When I'm finished, I'll let them know. It angers me when people talk about breastfeeding as if it's a shameful act that should be hidden away. If you don't like it, don't look. Get over it. The end. URGH. I think this is absolutely ridiculous. I prouldy breastfeed in public or anywhere else my son so chooses to be hungry.

It would be nice if he had a baby and maybe change his perspective but I doubt he'll have many women wanting to even date him after this. I too, have enjoyed his show in the past but in the back of my head know he was a sexist loser. bummer, he has some good guests. he is a total mysogonist tool.

I've got some really great links in my post about legality in all 50 states and the CDC's support of breast feeding. I also followed my post up by linking to MamaMojo's <a href="http://mamamojo.wordpress.com/2007/09/12/breastfeeding-in-public-warning-offensive-content/">photo post</a> which hilariously points out the ridiculousness in the argument against NIP (nursing in public (don't ya love that acronym?)).
