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?
I once saw a cow of a girl at a McDonalds expose her entire chest, baby laying on the table in front of her with milk dripping from both breasts. It was rather disgusting for all other patrons in the place trying to enjoy a meal they paid for, just so this mother could let it all hang out.
There's also a new trend of changing their babies diapers out where the whole world can see. Restaurant table, dirty diaper? No problem, these mothers are pure exhibitionists.

On the diaper issue, I agree with you. That is a matter of public health. However, no woman should be called a "cow" or a "girl" for that matter. If she was old enough to have a baby, she wasn't a girl.

(Re: a putting a blanket over a baby to breast feed)
My kids just didn't like the blankets over their heads. Even when quite tiny, they'd bat them off. Even in air-conditioning. Even at home, as when someone was visiting.
Oh, the mother and child should stay home?
Why don't you just stay home???
Who really cares what you want to see when a baby is hungry.
I sat in filthy bathrooms so you wouldn't be offended and am very glad that no one cares now if you are offended or not.
Are you offended to turn on your tv, go to the show, rent movies?
Depends.....my sister breast fed her baby in a restaurant one time and I never knew it nor did anyone dining with us...classy and DISCREET!
However, if we have one of those "OH MOTHERHOOD IS SO WONDERFUL LOOK AT ME I'M A MOTHER" types who whips up her blouse exposing herself UNNECESSARILY then she should be thrown out for ruining the other diner's meal and sent for counseling.
Bethany Morton...looked up the state statute on breastfeeding in public and learned that she could feed her child basically whenever and wherever she wanted, she said.
Her research came in handy Easter weekend when, at incidents in two cities, she was asked to cover up while breastfeeding. In the most serious case, police were called.
Reading this, I have the feeling that she set about looking to start trouble.
I breast fed my first child, was sick and due to meds couldn't breast feed the second. I wore clothes to make the transition to nursing as discrete as possible if nursing were to occur in a public place. I also brought bottled breast milk with me for situations where public breastfeeding might not be easily performed.

Why wasn't that an option for this mother?
I had one kid who refused to take a bottle. Which would you rather see/hear, a kid being breastfed, quietly at a table, or a screaming hungry infant, annoying everyone?
They use to make us go sit in a dirty bathroom so they wouldn't be offended.
Why would you take your baby and yourself to a restaurant that has dirty bathrooms???
