P.S. Seattle Discussing Breastfeeding

Camie Goldhammer, chairman of the Native American Breastfeeding Coalition, holds her daughter Johanna, 6 months, after testifying before the Seattle City Council today in Seattle. It's already against Washington state law to discriminate against public breastfeeding, but the Seattle City Council is weighing whether to specifically make it illegal in the city to ask nursing moms to stop, cover up or move to a different location. A proposed law before the council Monday would add a mother's right to breastfeed her child to other protected civil rights, including race, color, disability, religion and other categories.

Question: Should it be illegal for government to ask nursing moms to stop, cover up or move to a different location?
