Poll question: Does public breast-feeding make you uncomfortable?

Edited on Tue Jul-12-05 08:29 AM by Shell Beau
I ask this b/c I read an article in Glamour about it. Two women debated both sides of the argument. I can see both sides. On one side, we are a modest society where most forms of public nudity is frowned upon. Whether that is right or wrong is another issue. A lot of people are uncomfortable with seeing this in public. On the other side, women were made with breasts basically so they could feed their children (like many animals). It is a natural thing, and they should feed their children when they are hungry. Should they go somewhere else so everyone around them is more comfortable or just do what is right for them and their baby?

I personally do not have children yet. I intend to breastfeed, but I am pretty modest and will choose not to do it in public.
