She's got nothing that I want to see.
How about a paper bag requirement for her?

I make no such comparison between the two, and fully support the new legislation...
...just as long as I get to put the centerfolds back up in my cubicle.
It's a leftie thing. It's usually a Dem proposing such nonsense. They want to do anything they can to make it harder for employers to get a day of work out of people.
LMAO
Get a FKING shawl.
Women who are breast feeding still need to go to the bathroom to pump, so no, its not really making it harder on employers to get a day of work out of people. All it seems to do is provide a comfortable environment for breast feeding women.
Yeah, especially if you're not the one who has to pay to provide that space, right?
It depends on the pump and how much you can get each go round. Hey we can solve it by requiring the employer to by the nursing mom a hospital grade pump. Maybe that will be Hanna's next bill.
That is special treatment- and it is not fair treatment for the government to get involved in breastfeeding.
Now, if an employer wants to provide a breastfeeding lounge and the time away from work to pump- in order to market themselves to the female candidates, that is the employers right.

So its better to ask mothers who breast feed to sit on the crapper while they pump? Seems like a tiny price to pay for a company compared to the germs that eminate from most bathrooms.
LOL! A SAHD here.
I just returned from my daily schlep of our 4 month old down to the wife's work place. She uses a storage room which her co-workers converted to a Pumping and Nursing Room by clearing the old desks and bookcases out of the way and providing a chair, a table and a couple of posters on the wall.
She only pumps during her breaks and nurses during lunchtime.
I believe California already has a law requiring employers provide something, but she never asked, the boss was just so delighted to have her back at work, he probably would have let her breastfeed during staff meetings.
With our first we did this for a year and there was no "Nursing Room" provision made during Child #1. So we just drove to the park. While less convenient, it was more pleasant.
Our family is lucky to have an understanding employer. No way should it be a law. though.
What if the employer doesn't want a woman taking time out of the workday to pump. It's one thing to do it on her lunch hour but I dare an employer to tell a woman she can't do it on company time. They will be faced with a lawsuit.
It's called the ladies room.
16th Amendment. Income taxes. "Nuff said.
17th Amendment. Popular election of Senators. Think of Patty Murray, Carol Mosely Braun for starters.
18th Amendment. Prohibition of alcohol. What were the Senators supposed to drink?
19th Amendment. See italics.
Hanna, a breast-feeding advocate and retired nurse, won passage of a similar measure two years ago. It gave women the right to breast-feed in most public places.
Like I said...it's easy for you to sit and dictate a requirement for employers to provide special treatment for a minority of employees. You're not paying for it. As a business owner, I find this type of legislation outrageous and exceptionally offensive.
If it isn't one thing it's another.
All of this type of legislation/regulation is a tiny price but when you throw it all together it's one big burden/cost to employers and businesses.

I rest my case.
Why not?
Laws are being passed wholesale across our country now, based on assertions (no scientific proof whatsoever) by moonbats, the insane and the neurotic.
No need to go beyond this story for specifics.
