Breast-Feeding: Private Act or Public Right?

But now, 46 states allow woman to nurse in public or at least exempt them from prosecution.

But, public opinion hasn't caught up with the law. A recent study found 57 percent of Americans said women should not have the right to breast-feed in public. Seventy-two percent said it was inappropriate to show a woman nursing on television.

Why is this even a topic for discussion? The human race would have died out long ago if it were not for breast feeding. People need to get over their hangups about breasts and understand that their one purpose is so mothers can feed their babies. Our society has made womens breasts sexual when in reality there is nothing sexual about breasts at all. They serve a function, and without that function we would not be here today.
