Support American Breastfeeding Rights with H. R. 2236
Do you want to support breast feeding? There's a bill in the United States Congress called H.R. 2236 to do just that!
The bill's purpose is "To amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to protect breastfeeding by new mothers; to provide for a performance standard for breast pumps; and to provide tax incentives to encourage breastfeeding."
Breast feeding is the most natural and beautiful thing in the world. But some people want to stop it! There is nothing wrong with the breast and using it for what it was created for.
The bill is at

I am completely in favor of any thing that encourages women to bare their breasts in public. Go breasts!

I find it absurd that America needs legislation to allow mothers to breastfeed, and that people feel it will take monetary incentives to promote it.
The United States of America is a country where you have the right to bear arms, but not the right to bare breasts. But that may be finally changing.

I hope Rev. Bootie is really being supportive and not sarcastic! lol But really it's true. Why should men be able to bare their chests when they can't nurse but women can't bare theirs? It's just sexist!

Women are forced to cover their breasts by men. Breasts remind men that they're ultimately dependent on women. Their bodies grow in women and they're totally dependent for nine months, then they're dependent for months or years after that. And men are afraid to admit it!
Hide your eyes, guys, there's a bare breast! SCARY!

Women should be able to breastfeed anywhere and everywhere at any time!

I think the bill's still in committee. But let your congress representative know how you feel now!

America is a place where breastfeeding is restricted by the government. I wonder how many people believe it's restricted by their High Power?
Breastfeeding is healthier for the baby, and builds a closer bond. Skin to skin touching is most important for the developing infant and toddler. Even men should hold their babies to their naked chests. Its good for child development of the brain and immune system. And it's good for love.

You all don't get it do you? Breasts are SEXUAL parts. Exposing them in public invites LUST and RAPE. If you think Women's chests are the same as Men's you need glasses!

Hey Patriot John are you enjoying your new puberty? The most sensual part of a woman is her face. Should we cover up that too?
