TRUMP needs to immediately evict all members from the U.N. N.Y. building A.S.A.P.
Trump needs to cleanse the UN Building and reestablish it as a US Military Veterans HOME .... All U.N. members need to remove themselves from CONUS USA ASAP
When the UN decides how a woman should feed her baby
it is time to cancel the U fucking N

I have tried to find the original resolution and what language may have been objected to. So far I have not been able to. But if the administration truly did strong arm Ecuador into dropping bringing forth the resolution it is indeed a bad thing. Any effort to bring down infant mortality is a good thing. Especially one that is readily available.

Except for valid medical reasons breastfeeding is the best choice for babies. And sometimes formula feeding is the best choice for mom and that is her decision. But that choice assumes feeding formula can be done safely. That is often not the case in developing nations because of cost, lack of sanitation facilities, and most of all lack of clean water. So lacking medical reasons breastfeeding is the safest, cheapest, and healthiest choice for these mothers and their babies.

Trump is absolutely correct and you are the bone head in this matter. All women cannot breast feed. Are they to be ostracized or punished for what SHOULD BE a private matter? I am sick and tired of the INTRUSION of busy bodies into what should be privacy for female citizens! It is nobody’s business about my “women’s Health Issues.” When murdering children is okay according to the Pro Choice people, why on earth should a woman who births her child be FORCED to breast feed that child because some one world order idiots say she has to?

Poison my foot!!! I raised three outstanding athletic and academic children on formula. They are parents themselves of healthy children!

But this administration seems to forget it is not so much access to formula which is the main concern. It is the cost of that formula and the lack of clean water as most is sold in powdered form. Many of the countries do need access to formula for medical reasons that make it dangerous even deadly for babies to breastfeed. And efforts to make it affordable should be encouraged. But barring those legitimate concerns breastfeeding is the best choice.

Some children are allergic to “milk.” What are they supposed to survive on? Are they to be thrown into the trash heap of aborted children because their mothers can’t use a formula? It is nobody’s business what I feed my child!

You are absolutely correct. Just another attempt to control the populations.

If they live. We take so much for granted. I am sure most of us never had to fear our children dying from diarrhea brought on by deadly bacteria in the water they drank. Unless there are legitimate medical reasons to feed formula breastfeeding is not only the best choice for women in developing nations it is an essential one.

After I had my second baby, these breast nazis were trying to make formula by prescription only and force women to breastfeed. They wanted to ban formula advertising and samples in the hospitals. They think women are too stupid to ignore advertising and make their own decisions. The left have always been communists that want to control every aspect of your life from womb to tomb. They claim to do it for the children when they're all for lots of abortion.

Formula is never an acceptable choice.

The hazard you exaggerate is easily dealt with by putting an eye dropper full of nascent Iodine in a bottle of water.

Every form of mammal milk is many orders of magnitude safer than formula of any kind.

Formula should be forbidden by law everywhere.

Formula is often milk based. If a mother is HIV positive or has AIDS or Hepatitis C or is on certain medications or undergoing chemotherapy it is dangerous even deadly for her to breastfeed her infant. So yes formula is a valid even necessary option for her. T

The hazard I mention is not at all exaggerated. Which was concerning unsafe water being used to mix powdered formula not about breastfeeding.

“Some children are allergic to ‘milk’.”

Balderdash!

Every human is “allergic” to every immaginable kind of ‘formula.’

Women should be denied any use of manufactured ‘formula!’


If we are already being poisoned by the garbage we eat, what makes us think the milk we , as mothers, produce isn’t tainted by all these chemicals as well? I’m not saying you are wrong. I’m just saying there is a lot more to this issue, on BOTH sides.

No, what is refered to here as ‘formula’ is not milk.

Chemo therapy is no excuse for anything. Its sole function is to drain the last bit of value from health insurance.

But the mother’s milk is not mandatory. Any milk from any mammal is superior to any ‘formula.’

You “God is Wrong” thugs are the bane of life!

Every child need to be breast fed, whether the breast is human, or other.
