Watch out for ‘lactivists’

Proposed legislation to bless breast-feeding in Kansas prompted what seemed like an endless stream of comments to Opinion Line earlier this year. But it took a negative comment on the subject from Barbara Walters to prompt a rally of “lactivists” outside ABC studios last week, according to this New York Times article. The “nurse-in” should make Kansas business owners think twice before trying to send a nursing mother to the restroom.

    What’s wrong with mothers breastfeeding? Nothing, says Happy. More mothers should breastfeed in public. Just my two cents.

    It is fine with me but it will attract perverts.
