And I'm not swayed by the "it's natural" argument either. I mean, doing "number 2" is natural too but MOST folks don't cop a squat right where they are and do it! Most have the decency to go to the restroom to do it.

Uh-oh, no you've gone and done it. Your compared breast feeding in public to public excretion. You are simply NOT ALLOWED to make such a comparison!

Get ready for the attack of the Free Republic Militant Breast Feeders! ;P

Just a note - this thread is doomed. This story (or others like it) appears from time to time, and it always results in sanctimonious outrage and excessive flameage...

I don't argue against breast-feeding as breastfeeding is the best way to feed your baby but this PRIVATE business, the YMCA, does not want it going on in their pool area and have decided to stop it. That is their right to do so and their choice! These mothers who breast-feed need to just make the extra effort to go somewhere else to feed their babies.

Why is that such a problem???
