RIGHT THERE IT IS ~ top of the article too.
See the term "Limiting unnecessary formula feedings" ~ that's a tad subjective ~ "Unnecessary" ~ is authoritarian.
This goes over the line ~ and even for New York where fascism is tolerated a lot more than elsewhere, it's a bit much else nobody would complain.
Yes, this is an order to the hospitals to see to it they subject infants to abusive treatment created by a mind numbed knee jerk leftwingtard apparatchik in the Mayor's office.
It's like the prosecutions that used to ensue in "failure to thrive" cases. That was the government's answer to the problems of CF and Celiac. People have had their babies taken from them for those problems, and then placed in foster care where they died.
There's a reason the breast feeding programs and their advocates are not trusted either.
“Unnecessary” is subject to debate but not impossible to become appropriate. Anyone calling this “fascism” should brush up on the subject.
It will be the Feminazis who will object most to encouraging breast feeding.

First, you left out three important words: "limiting unnecessary formula feedings for breastfed newborns." This is aimed at hospitals that give formula to breastfed newborns (e.g., newborns whose mothers CHOOSE to breastfeed), sometimes against the stated desires of the parents. This provision has no effect on new mothers who choose not to breastfeed. If a new mother chooses to give her kid formula, participating hospitals won't stop her, and will provide that formula.
Second, to the extent "unnecessary" is authoritarian, that word is from the report about this program, not from the program itself. A more accurate phrase would be "without medical indication."
