No ... the world does NOT revolve around mothers; it revolves around respect for your fellow man or woman (at least it should).

Agreed. The baby is enjoying his/her meal; I will pay no mind and enjoy my meal...

When I breast fed in public, I was so busy feeding the baby that I didn't really note anyone ogling me. No one ever followed me home.

You do not need to "go topless" to breast feed a baby, in public or at home.

Yes, sure! From now on Congress should pass a law for all US women to cover all flesh like in Saudi Arabia.

Let me ask you all a question: At what point would you consider breastfeeding indecent exposure? How far should a woman expose herself before it is considered nudity?

And you are correct. My wife breastfed my children, and all she did when in public was to cover her breast and baby with a small and thin blanked she had for this purpose.

That's because morals are declining in our society. All of those activities were not always openly accepted by society.

Exactly but yet, many posters don't seem to have an issue with them going topless while breastfeeding.

State statute 145.905 says, "A mother may breast-feed in any location, public or private, where the mother and child are otherwise authorized to be, irrespective of whether the nipple of the mother's breast is uncovered during or incidental to the breast-feeding."

The mother says they were removed for breastfeeding, here is what the restaraunt says:

"The couple in question was asked to leave the restaurant because the man became verbally aggressive — NOT because his fiancée was breastfeeding," wrote Diana Postemsky in a prepared statement for the restaurant chain. "Rather, the man's volume and use of profanity was disturbing our other guests."

I know the law is on her side in this IF she was kicked out for breastfeeding however; what do you guys think? Should breastfeeding mothers cover it up out of courtesy or "let it all hang out" so to speak?
This is the only country in the world that thinks a woman's ***** are somehow "dirty". Not only should she breastfeed but walk around topless if she wants. I used to think they should cover up too but then I saw other countries in Europe and wondered why Americans are so obsessed with this part of female anatomy.

The breasts is a body part that is normally covered up so how are we jumping from covering up breasts to covering up the entire body? Talk about slippery slope arguments.
