Mother kicked off Delta airline for breastfeeding

Wow, this really makes my blood boil: a woman was recently kicked off of a Delta airline because she was breastfeeding her daughter. Isn’t it hard enough traveling with young children without being penalized for trying to feed them? Sheesh! It’s high time Congresswoman Maloney’s Breastfeeding Promotion Act was passed. Please take 2 minutes and sign a petition to Delta Airlines in support of breastfeeding women, and while you’re there, check out the very cool Momsrising.org. This anti-breastfeeding behaviour seems rampant lately, and is cropping up all over the place: Starbucks, Toys ‘R Us, now Delta. If you have a moment, take the time to tell your Senator that NOW is the time to get moving on the Breastfeeding Promotion Act. I still don’t understand why this bill hasn’t passed already: it’s all about the health of moms and babies. Isn’t that a politician’s bread and butter? What’s not to like? Jeeze louise.
