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."

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.

She might be free to breastfeed anywhere, but she has no legal right to attend church services where she isn’t welcome :P
