I'm going to go make some popcorn and see how long it takes to have breastfeeding compared to urinating.

More proof that feminazis do not want equal treatment- they want special treatment.

I get the feeling something is missing from this article. Are they really talking about mothers breastfeeding at work, or mothers who use a breastpump at work?

You can store breastmilk for long periods of time, thus giving the baby bottles of thawed breastmilk when mom isn't able to be there to nurse.

Forget breastfeeding. What about
making the babies in the first place? Why am I not allowed to do that at work? My employer should provide me with a special room where I can nail my co-workers, or whomever I choose.
Hell, even if I'm not doing it for procreation, I should still receive special treatment in this context. I want handouts! Waaah!

Either way, it's not the responsibility or employers to provide special treatment to breastfeeding mothers.

I thought that is what the storage room was for, and the main reason for the annual Christmas party... ;)

Probably breastpumping but the next bill will probably be that breastfeeding moms must be allowed to take their babies to work. Also, how much breastpumping is the employer supposed to endure. What if she has to do it every two hours for 20--30 minutes a pop?
To: beaversmom
So, since this person is trying to pass this law we must assume that this means some mothers are bringing infants that young to their place of employment??
Taking care of infants that young is a 24 hour a day job. How would the mother get any of her employers work done by bringing the infant to work??
Does not sound fair to the employer or the child. Productivity would definitely decrease and quality of care for the infant would decrease. Seems like a lose/lose proposition to me.

I'm still waiting for a journalist to ask
any politician this question: Tell me one subject matter that is
strictly off-limits to government involvement of any sort. One non-trivial matter that you believe is none of the government's business, under any circumstances. Is there even
one?
The bleeding-heart/PC fascism of the Left knows no bounds.

It all depends what they look like. Just kidding, don't hammer me.

Feminists will stop an nothing to demand rights that they have no intention of using.
Their real goal is to scream, yell, whine and find situations where they can cram their victimology down our throats...
and that is why they have latched on to the breastfeeding in public band wagon recently. (get it..hehe) little breast feeding humor for you.Seriously- they don't care about breastfeeing~ they just need something to reinforce that they are victims of the man...

C'mon...who in the hell has to pump every 2 hours for 20-30 mins? Considering most moms have maternity leave, the baby is at least 2 months old before she goes back to work and I don't know many 2 month olds who eat every 2 hours.
I'm all for limited government, but my wife had to sit in a bathroom stall while she used her pump at least twice a day at work. Asking a company to provide 1 office with a door so women can have some comfortable privacy to perform a vital function that keeps our babies alive is really not that bad.

I did both (breastfeed & use breast pump to store milk) and did it in a bathroom area at work which was clean, but I brought my own towel to place over the counter area where I placed the liners and the pump. I stored the milk liners in a large zip lock bag inside of a paper bag with my name on it inside the freezer. I removed the frozen milk and took it home in a cooler filled with ice them placed it in my own freezer at home.
Neither my child nor I suffered as a result. She needs to get over herself!

Why doesn't Deanna Hanna stay at home and work on being a Proverbs 31 wife instead of dictating in the Legislature?
