again, let me explain
1. Breast-feeding is not the same as sex, masturbating or excreting urine and feces.
2. Many babies refuse to be covred up when eating. (What adult would eat with a blanket over their head?
3. Most nursing moms know how to breastfeed discreetly without covering up from a blanket. In my experience of nursing 2 babies, average time of exposed boobage was <5 seconds. Drunks at the Appleby's bar are far more distracting than me in a booth nursing.
While I often think Bill Maher is funny, (and I have defended his misquote regarding Dick Cheny and death), I am disappoineted in his attitude here. He says that nursing moms are doing it for attention. That attitude is sophomoric.
