Breastfeeding flap is silly

Fri., June 8, 2012

While I realize the military says the issue with the women from Fairchild Air Force Base who are breastfeeding is not breastfeeding itself but doing it while in uniform, it seems to me we have our priorities askew.

Much of society thinks it’s fine to kill your baby (abortion) but it’s not OK to breastfeed in public, a natural God-given ability for the nutrition of the child. Does anyone else see how crazy this world has become?

Nothing is said about Victoria’s Secret models displaying their pushed-up breasts for all to see, but showing a little breast while breastfeeding is supposed to be offensive. I’m in full support of these ladies doing so, in uniform or not.
