Poll question: Would you breastfeed during a visit to Congress?
Randi's caller did during the Conyers meeting yesterday!

10. Just what I was thinking myself...
I love it... people ocmplain about a crying child, but then you have the mother giving the child what he wants - FOOD, its now wrong because the food is coming from where it naturally comes from.

Cant win..

13. me too...
If my little guy was hungry, absolutely.

But, if it was just for the sake of giving you (general, not you specifically) something to talk about... then, no.

4. The kid comes first
But then, I had made nursing clothes so I could nurse my baby in public, and no one would have had a clue if I was....

7. Thankfully I don't have to think about that one.
If I did, I suspectmy life would be a lot more complicated when I go to visit my "moderate" Senator Arlen Specter because my dad got tickets to do such a thing in an auction.

8. I'd look a tad silly
since I've been told the beard makes me look like Kenny Rogers. However, all kiddin aside, I support that right, its as natural as breathing and its disgusting that folks are some hung up on the human body as to even give this a 2nd thought.

9. John Ashcroft might still be in charge of draping any wayward breasts
in the Capitol buildings. :shrug:

12. I probably wouldn't take my child to a Congress meeting,
but I would probably express the milk. If that wasn't an option, then I guess I would. A baby has to eat when hungry!

14. I'm male so I can't say one way or the other
but I wouldn't take a baby to a congressional hearing or just a session of Congress
