I was very happy to see that Pennsylvania mothers can now breastfeed their babies without fear of being kicked out of wherever they are. On the other hand, it's kind of sad that we have to pass laws that specifically protect this.
Truly, American society is such a mixed bag of paradoxical values, mores and ideals. So lenient in some areas, so regressive in others. We have such a popular culture of sexuality and promiscuity, yet at the same time mothers actually fear getting publicly punished for feeding their children.
I guess it's comparable to how I'll never really escape some aspects of that fantastic Catholic childhood...in many ways America just can't shake those Puritanical roots. Man that sucks.
