Cops called on women nursing their kids at pool, so dozens of breastfeeding moms show up to protes

29. While laws have been created to protect the right of

women to be able to nurse their babies when the babies are hungry, one might make a legal argument that the law does not prohibit women from being asked to provide some type of modest covering when doing it in public. Modest covering hardly prevents women from feeding their babies. I would think that most people at a pool bring towels with them. If you are at a business/recreational area that is privately owned, the owners do have a right as to who they allow in their establishment.

What I find irksome is the absolute militancy and attitude that some women have towards the issue. They act so offended when asked to cover up and then claim they are being denied their right to feed their child which is hog wash. Asking someone to use a little modest covering is not telling them they can't feed their child. It tends to make me less sympathetic to their cause. You catch more flies with honey then vinegar.

Playing the "you are not going to tell me what I can and cannot do" card is something that works both ways.
