Anti-Breast Feeding Article

And Also: An AP piece referenced a revision of rules by/for federal judges to address the "appearance of impropriety" issue without noting that a pending U.S. Supreme Court case addresses this very matter. The case involves state judges, sure, but this seems to be relevant, no? Meanwhile, let the confirmation wars begin!

There has been some discussion over a "case against breast-feeding." Problem is that the article is a strawwoman argument, which selectively uses evidence. The fact something is "natural" does not make it best. Or, a "right," to reference some recent discussions.

But, understanding that the bottle is fine for many women, especially given the burdens of the alternative, is not the same thing as ignoring (to quote a feminist blogger) "breastfeeding is better in most cases" Or, exaggerating about being "half naked" when you breastfeed or making fun of people who use pumps etc. The fact some enthusiasts on the other side exaggerate does not mean "more of the same." Balance, please.
