There’s no doubting that Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly has endeared herself to her audience. She’s wildly popular with a loyal fan base. And Thursday afternoon she may have showed why: she’s not afraid to go off script and even get personal. Case in point: she revealed she once had a potentially embarrassing breastfeeding incident on a plane.
Fox reporter Trace Gallagher was discussing the recent “nurse-ins,” where mothers — in response to a fellow mother being asked not to breastfeed at a Target store — descended on stores across the country to breastfeed their babies in public. And after he wrapped up his report, Kelly offered a personal anecdote.
“You know, I got a lot of thoughts on this, Trace,” she explained with a smile on her face. “Let me just put it this way: I used to feel a lot differently before I had babies and you’re breastfeeding; they need to be fed and then sometimes they don’t like the cover. And before you know it, you‘re Megyn Kelly and you’re showing your breasts to a whole plane.”
Gallagher responded by laughing and clapping his hands — which is about all he could do at that point.

You are wrong. Breasts are secondary sexual characteristics meant to attract the makle.
Why shouldn’t I be able to breastfeed off of a willing woman in public? If it isn’t sexual, as YOU say it isn’t, then there can be nothng wrong with it.
You have just proven my case for me doofus.
Should have told her you forgot your gum.
Amen, KansasGirl!
And she has a pair of big, round, captivating...err, ah, ummm.......EYES! What a beautiful lady. My compliments to The Designer! And she has a brain, too....and a heart!
YOU are wrong. Do other mammals look at breasts in order to choose a mate? My personal taste virtually excludes the breasts when choosing a woman I like. In fact, I prefer smaller breasts.
Why shouldn’t I be able to breastfeed off of a willing woman in public? If it isn’t sexual, as YOU say it isn’t, then there can be nothng wrong with it.
Because the purpose of breastfeeding is to support the infant who cannot feed himself. Your rationale is infantile so therefor it would seem okay for you to breastfeed in public.
You have just proven my case for me doofus.
Well, some things have been proven in our conversation. Mostly, you have serious issues regarding a woman's breasts and your inability to delineate between sexuality and the nurturing of a child.
***But if it wasn’t actually embarrassing, then obviously nobody cared.***
The only thing wrong with public breast feeding is there are too may men with the mentality of Beavus and Butthead.
The rest of us don’t worry about. I saw a woman breast feeding her baby back in 1959 at the public swimming pool in Roswell NM. No one really paid any attention to it.
LOL, not a chance. I've loved boobies ever since I can remember, no one had to tell me squat.
I nursed three as well. The militant, in your face Moms would not like me. It was all about making my life easier. No bottles to warm, wash or rinse. No [expensive] formula to mix.
To make up for the fact that my husband never had to do any middle of the night feedings, I would always lay in bed just long enough for the crying to wake him to wake up. :)
Possibly the only other people who might *suspect* or even notice that the infant was being fed, would be another experienced mother who is or has breast fed an infant.
I told my wife today, I don’t think it’s JUST the mammary glands. I think the people who are raising the ruckus hate the baby, too. They think the ankle biter should have been aborted! But the gall of this woman....she went ahead and gave BIRTH....and then, the epidome of outrage...she nurses it in public!
You proved my point exactly. Even sitting shoulder to shoulder with this woman, you were unaware of the nursing infant.
By the way, I would think it would be possible for a nursing mom to ask the flight attendant for a change of seat so she could sit next to other women. In most cases they would likely accommodate her and the baby.
I've been trying to think of a witty comeback but I'm stumped so all I can do is post this...
Unfortunately, there is too much truth in that statement.
Personally, I would think most women would want to be discreet but then there are the in your face militant types (Beavis and Butthead feminist) who do it only to push the envelope and get attention.
I personally would just look the other way if I saw a mother nursing her child just out of respect....and of course if she had an "accident" would be more comfortable in having it happen in my presence.
I’ve flown A LOT! While on a military chartered flight, I sat next to a dependent spouse traveling with an infant to meet up with her husband at his new duty station. She apologetically asked if I would be offended if she breast fed her child. I was on my way back from Afghanistan and told her not to worry, I wouldn’t be awake much longer.
She kept covered and discreet. There were no problems.
However, there’s a huge difference between a ten hour transoceanic flight and a shopping trip to Target!
children have schedules. You can do your shopping between feedings.
Ha, you did just fine!
Technically, you can procreate by having the woman lay still with her skirt pulled over her head, completely still, with minimal touching. If that's what you're into, rock on with your bad self.
Procreation doesn't require kissing her neck, slow gentle bites down the nape to her back, kissing and nibbling from the back of her knee around to her inner thigh.
None of that's required, but it makes it a helluva lot of fun!

Exactly! The baby's going to need to eat, one way or another, so why not feed him in a way that requires no additional baggage and is FREE?
