What I do have a problem is with any group who constantly go about whining about how picked upon they are. In this instance there are states where laws have been passed protecting the right of a woman to feed her child when the child needs to be fed. I have no problem with that. All the law guarantees is the right to feed the child when and where she needs to. It does not provide legal protection regarding how the mother is dressed during the act. Providing discrete cover does not provide any impairment to the breastfeeding act.

Considering the grave times that we live in, an issue like this isn't even close to being of my radar of issues to be concerned about.
