I do not believe women should be allowed to breastfeed in public because it is common courtesy not to. Yes, I understand that it is a natural occurance and a lot of women breastfeeed, but that does not justify it. Every single person on this earth urinates, not just a percentage of women, like breastfeeding, so urinating should be more acceptable. However, it is not okay by society's standards to urinate in public. So why should women be allowed to breast feed. Breastfeeding is also very annoying. If I am in a public place, such as church or the mall, I find it very distracting when women just pull down their shirt, unhook their breastfeeding bra and allow the child to suckle. If I had kids, I pray that never happens, but if I did have kids I would not want to explain to them what the lady was doing or what part of her body her breasts were. It is unnecessary to expose younger children to the process of breast feeding. If a baby is hungary and the annoying thing starts to cry, then the mother should have to take the waling child to a private room or a bathroom. Women, have you ever wondered what the couches and chairs are in the ladies restroom? I'm guessing it's not so our lazy asses can relax in a small room smelling of shit. I think that furniture is for the new moms and their hungary babeis. So, to the breast feeding moms, put your breasts away while your out for the day.
