Pro-breastfeeding cover's a bust

NEW YORK -- 'I was SHOCKED to see a giant breast on the cover of your magazine,' one person wrote.

[Normal Person]

If you have not seen one by now, it is time you did!

I don't understand the big deal over this cover. Breastfeeding is a natural part of being a mother. If your worried about your children seeing a breast, then keep them away from the television, movies and newstands. Have these people seen the covers of fashion, or mens health mags. These show women just about naked,and posing in suggestive poses.Children today see worse then this in the shows that are on and not just visuial,the topics of these show are suggestive.Even what we watch as adults when are children are around exposes them to worse then a mother caring for her child.

Your saying you dont understand what the big deal is??, the big deal cori is that its down right cheap, trashy, offensive and disturbing to see a nother human bein slobber his wet filthy mouth over some womens sexual private parts. It doesnt make any differences wether if its an adult or a newborn infant, this sort of thing is really indecent plus not to mention how its lewd conduct while done out in public veiw with people around.. Showing a newborn infant in a front cover of a magazine openly makes that child out to looklike discusting uncivilized trash. This is down right degrading and exploiting to that childs caracter, by doing so also, its making an example out of innocent children in the front cover of breastfeeding magazines. This reflects on the child as looking like a real trash and learning the same trashy rude behaviour from the mother. To me, theres no need for this garbage, if they are gonna have dirty , foul, offensive stuff like this in front covers, they might as well these types of magazines in porno shops with the rest of the playboy magazines. Cori, breastfeeding maybe a natural part of the mother just like urinating can be a part of women and men, but that doesnt mean we should urinate in public. Sex maybe also natural too just like breastfeeding, but would you go out and have sex in public Cori??. I dont think so, if you would allow your 10-12 year old sons to read those types of filthy magazines where it shows a newborn latched onto some womens tits, then it wouldnt surprise me if you allow your kids to watch R rated adult films. That just goes and shows what kind of a role model these mothers are who would degrade there motherhood by making a bad trashy example out of there own newborn baby child to be put in front covers of magazines while they are feeding off there boobs like f***ing pet zoo monkeys

thats just great normal person, and while your at it, how about if ignorant people like you allow your 10-12 year old kids to read dirty nude playboy magazines ha... Nobody wants to see this real offensive, indecent disturbing image of a newborn infant in a front cover feeding off of some womens tits. Thats very trashy, its showing to the mother and the child that they have low morality and decency staqndard codes. Many ultra right wing conservative christians oppose this magazine because its also elaborating to see a bodily function put on display of a front cover of a mazagine

[sean]

showing giant breast on a front cover of a magazine with a newborn infant feeding off of it is incestuas, its degrading to the mother and child. Plus its a form of sexual p*dophilia which is no different than displaying a child slobbering his wet mouth all over some male's p*nis. This is how liberals are, they will find some other loophole around things to try and push this rude, sexual indecent image in peoples faces an order to make society socially accept this dirty behavioir. As a ultra right wing conservative that i am, i feel that they need to bann this magazine because its very inappropriate

[sean]

Breast feeding in public is the same as Urinating/Defacating in public. Yep, it maybe natural in all, but it is still a biohazzard. Bodily fluid is bodily fluid. It is time we stop abandoning common sense for political correct bs

Yes i have read it carefully Amanda it cleary says that "any individual exposing breast in the process of breastfeeding an infant under two years of age", thats part of the public indecency codified laws. Dont play me as a sucker and try to confuse me because i read what i see. Is that or is that not public indecent exposure Amanda when you expose bare breast out in public while breastfeeding your child under two years of age??. Wether or not that the child is under two years of age, its still indecent exposure if you are exposing bare breast out in public veiw. Public indecency is public indecency Amanda, nude is nude Amanda

[sean]

our public indecent exposure laws should treat everyone fairly equal, not just to some man who either drops his pants to moon or to expose his p*nis while urinating in public. Our public indecency laws should also apply to breastfeeding mother who choose to flop out there breast in public, because after all, that is a sex part like a male p*nis

[Jeremy Rose]

OK, you're taking this way to the extreme. First of all, most mother's who breastfeed in public are very discreet about the process. They do not flop there breast out in the wind like you're saying they do.

Second, breastfeeding is nowhere near pedophilia. It doesn't matter if adults consider the breast to be sexual. It was made to deliver milk to infants. The baby doesn't consider it sexual and the mother doesn't consider it sexual to have the baby feeding. So the only people it sexual to are the perverts that either enjoy it or freak out about it. You obviously consider it sexual so I'm wondering which on you are.

All you have to do is avert your eyes. No big deal. And the magazine? It's a magazine for mothers...which was promoting breastfeeding....theres not even a nipple in the picture...get over it. There's no reason to freak out about it.

I do take it to the extreme when they flop it out in public veiw like for example Emily Gillette who was breastfeeding her two year old child on Delta airlines just before she was ejected for not accepting the blanket. If i freakout because some women flops out her breast where its an eyesore, that doesnt nessesaraly make me a pervert since she wasnt responsible enough to stay covered up

[Jeremy Rose]

The things is that isn't what usually happens..most women are discreet...you're freakin out about the minority. And using it to base your opinion on the whole.

I come from the east coast where everyone there is practically uptight for every little thing thats not on the straight and narrow. In New England society is not gonna always tolerate open exposed breast simply because the pilgrims and puritans settled there in places like Massacusettes and Maine. Where i come from society does not putup with a third world culture where people can just openly breastfeed there children out in public veiw

[David Carroll]

There are many studies linking breastfeeding to improved immunity, and improved immune systems linked to improved brain development. I think we can see from the posts here who's mothers loved them enough to help develop their brains as an infant.

Sean, the under two years of age is a subsection to section b which says that the subsections don't apply. Breastfeeding by that statute is clearly not obscene if you have reading comprehension greater than a 5 year old.

Penises are made for sex and urination. Breasts are for breast feeding, and breast feeding alone. If indecency laws are to be made equal then women should be allowed to go topless anytime in public just like men. I love the shape of women, but the last thing I would get turned on by is a woman breastfeeding.

Without knowing.. I'm guessing that sean was raised on cow's milk.. which has really only come into 'style' in the past 65 years, I would guess. Anybody who is offended by the natural feeding of an infant needs to leave the room.. Anybody who comes up with all these sexual additives has some kind of sick problem! It was God who invented the way that babies are fed.. Give us mothers a break. That attitude is sick.. and YOU certainly must have been staring !!!

[Zoompad]

When I was a child, all the mothers breastfed. It was just after the war. I don't think any of the mothers where I came from could afford expensive formula milk.

No-one batted an eyelid at these nursing mothers then. It was normal and everyday behaviour, just babies having their dinner.

We were poor people, and it was a long way to the doctors surgery. I remember that we hardly ever had to visit the doctor. There were six of us kids, and we seemed to live on very plain and basic food, bread and dripping, stuff like that. Wehardly ever went to see the doctor though, we were healthy enough. I reckon the milk our mum fed us gave us a really good start in life.

Anybody who comes up with all these sexual additives has some kind of sick problem!. Wrong again grandmother, thats coming out of your sexist way of thinking, there cannot be a DOUBLE STANDARD in this issue, i would feel the same way about someone who desides to masturbate in public even if thats as natural as it is to breastfeeding. It was God who invented the way that babies are fed.., yes and God also believes to be decent about it and not display your immoral sexual deviants out in public veiw to try and arouse people with it. Give us mothers a break, no why dont you give us a break and stop trying to use breastfeeding to go nude in public when you know that women are supposed to stay covered up to show some respect for themselves as women and stop acting like sl*ts. That attitude is sick.. and YOU certainly must have been staring !!!

No its people like you who make others stare when you bring out your personal natural business out in public veiw to try and push this protest behavioir in our faces, if you dont like perverts, or should i say so-called perverts staring at YOU WHILE breastfeeding your OVERSIZED 13LBS PET MONKEY, than use a damn bathroom then. You cannot have it bothways grandmother

[A Grandmother]

Every mother I ever saw who had to feed her baby in public was very circumspect. All that is needed to protect your privacy is a little blanket to throw over your shoulder. My goodness.. get some counseling!:)

[Traveling Dad]

Kudos to A Grandmother! Over the years, I have lived in various parts of the US (including the East Coast), Europe, and in developing areas of Asia. I have never observed a women attempt to titillate or seek pleasure from the process of breastfeeding. Breastfeeding mothers in the USA are, on the extreme, careful not to offend someone while doing her job as a Mom. Overseas, they are less concerned about covering up because their cultures acknowledge and respect the mother.

sean, if you are so focused on a lactating breast in a sexual context, you need to accept that your fetish is affecting how you relate to others and resolve your personal issue. A breastfeeding mother is performing a task that illuminates her commitment to nurture and love her child. Have some respect and go offline to resolve your personal demons.
