FULL TITLE: 'We don't want to make a man uncomfortable in church': Mother says she was told to leave a CHURCH for breastfeeding

A breastfeeding mother claims she was escorted out of a church service in Virginia and was told: 'We don't want to make a man uncomfortable in church.'

Annie Peguero has posted a video on Facebook about her treatment on Sunday at the Summit Church in Springfield and said she would never go back there.

Peguero, a personal trainer and military wife, said a church official told her: 'We don't want to make a man uncomfortable in church, and we also don't want to make a new churchgoer feel uncomfortable.'

no one even had a clue what was going on.

Then she was doing it right - unlike the woman in the article.

I’m a woman and I’m not wild about seeing that in public. Maybe do that before church.

So you’re saying there’s something WRONG with the natural function of urinating? YOU’RE sick.

And yes, urinating and defacating ARE the same as breastfeeding: They’re normal, natural functions of the human body.

From the article, a little more insight into what she's about...

"She said she was told off first as she sat near the church's baby room without a nursing cover over her breast and again when she breastfed during a sermon.

Peguero, who was eventually ushered out of the church, said: 'Whether you agree with the way I breastfeed or not what happened to me was a violation of mother's rights and a violation of Virginia law.'

Under Virginia state law mothers have the right to breastfeed anywhere and there is no exemption for churches or other places of worship."

The church had a “baby room” where she could have done this. She would have been with other women doing the same thing more than likely.

Why not just throw the baby down in the middle aisle and change that dirty diaper while you’re at it?

“From the sounds of it this chick just pulled out one of her Dolly Domes and let the baby go at it, this is why other church members got bent out of shape.”

My first thought as well. Sounds like she was there to make a statement.

My moonbat sister went to breast-ins (-outs?) to make statements in the DC area as long as she could with her two.

Perhaps we should keep abreast of such trends.

Yes I read this and you know what’s going to happen next and I will post it.

In coming weeks thousands of breastfeeding women will have a “feed in” in that church one Sunday morning.

Yes most places have something like that. Of course she could have pumped at home and brought a bottle too.

“It’s preferable to breastfeed in a bathroom stall or a car, rather than whipping your boob out in public for all to see.”

I’m not sure I agree any more with the bathroom venue, but I think most if not all of these cases that make it to the media are “statements” being made by moms.

It’s a safe bet that Mary covered herself modestly when
feeding Baby Jesus.

Yet these idiots would be outraged if someone whipped out their ding a ling in public and started urinating on the street.

That's wrong?

Now they tell me...

“I wonder, Where did Baby Jesus take his meals?”

Not in the Temple or synagogue.

And you just know that she’s not a regular member of that church or even a ‘legitimate’ visitor interested in the church. She just targeted them to make her point.
