2. Breastfeeding mothers must wear burqas.

Most mothers are discrete. They aren't waving themselves around. There's no reason to smother the baby with a scarf, in order to protect some prude's sensibilities.

Also, if anyone's worried about the children. I would suggest that most children have seen a mother's chest.

5. smoking
It is a bit tacky, though when the breastfeeder is simultaneously smoking.

11. If he gets to eat a big ole steak in public...
then a little one should have a big ole boob full of lunch in public. Seems reasonable to me.+

12. Obviously, Dr.Phil has never had to sit beside a hungry, crying baby
in a plane, or other public place.

I would rather chance having to see a nipple than have to listen to screaming.

13. I really used to like his show.
Makes me sad. If my baby's hungry my baby's hungry. She's gettin' a boob, end of story.
