Mothers Danielle Shield (L) and Alison Yaker (R) read a book about breastfeeding with their children near the Delta Airlines counter at Logan Airport in Boston, Massachusetts November 21, 2006 as part of a national 'Nurse-In' protest in support of women's right to breastfeed in public. On October 13, 2006 Emily Gillette was removed from a Delta/Freedom Air flight out of Burlington, Vermont after she refused to cover her baby with a blanket while breastfeeding on the plane before take-off.

P.T.Barnum once said, "there's a sucker born every minute".
Just another day at the dairy.
Keep us abreast of the situation, please......
"breast feeds her daughter, Alexa Ross, 2 1/2"
What? Geez.
Wait a minute--this isn't my baby!
A woman refused a request from a stewardess to cover her breast while breastfeeding yet this story is pitched as a "nurse in" to protest not being allowed to breastfeed on planes? O brother. This is a protest against the airline disallowing exhibitionism, not breastfeeding (which is fine by them, just cover it).
It would be fun to hire some nude dancers to go up to their kids and flip out their breasts as a protest to their misdirected stupid protest.
Exhibitionists. Do they urinate in public, too? That's also a natural function, after all.
Them's my boys...
In the auto business we would say: "There's an ass for every seat."
"breast feeds her daughter, Alexa Ross, 2 1/2"
Sounds like Alexa's mother has some mother-daughter issues of her own. Someone's over-compen-sating!!!
I'm reminded of the movie "Look Who's Talking" when John Travolta has Mikey out in town and they see a very well-endowed woman. Travolta asks Mikey, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Mikey replies, "Yeah, LUNCH!!!!"
You mean the Lactation Station?
Wait a second... she was feeding a 2 1/2 year old wih her breast?? WTF is wrong with these people??
Hmmm... Lemme think... Which is worse: Seeing a boobie or listening to a shrieking, hungry infant for 6 hours while trapped in an aluminum tube, 7 miles above the surface of the earth?
I'll have what he's having.
If it was a subway in London it could be the Boob Tube.
