In most States breastfeeding is a legally protected activity. That’s the difference.”
Is there not an expectation of some level of modesty on the part of the breastfeeding mother?
I agree that breastfeeding is ‘natural’, but I certainly don’t expect to pay for an airline seat and have a boob hanging out in the aisle seat.
She was politely asked to cover up her chest and she refused.
I hope the judge throws this out and gives her a tonguelashing at the same time.
I posted the Vermont statute. There’s nothing in it about modesty or covering up. It appears she could take her shirt off, judging from the statute. This IS Vermont we’re talking about.
Nope. Not gonna go there.
“an expectation of some level of modesty...”
Our society seems to suffer from a lack courtesy. How about trying to give the mother and baby some privacy? How about Mama trying to be as discreet as possible? I realize babies require attention at inopportune times. I have no problem with Mama tending to those needs. Unfortunately, we have a whole groups of people who think that because you have a “right”, you are able to be as offensive or rude as you wish. I enjoy a bawdy joke. When I am out with the guys in the shop or on a boat fishing - it isn’t rude. Telling it at my wife’s meeting with the ladies of the church or loudly using the “F” word in a public place - it may be legal but I am certain it is rude behavior.-—JM
