Many in the public don’t recognize the legality and necessity of the act
It seems that some people will never be at ease with the sight of a woman’s breast. Last week, a woman at Pullman’s Neill Public Library was engaged in the sort of activity most people do in such places: reading a book, that is. The problem was she also had the outrageous gall to breastfeed her baby at the same time – at least that is what must have been on the mind of the employee, and the patron who complained to her, when she approached the mother to scold her for nursing her baby in public.
“You have to stop that,” the employee said. “It is against the law of the state of Washington to breastfeed in public.” Luckily for everyone involved, especially the robust baby in the woman’s arm, this breastfeeding fanatic knew her rights and told the misguided and misinformed librarian to go fly a kite.
