Just to clarify, there is NO state in the US that has a law banning breastfeeding in public. However, not all (yet) have laws specifically excluding nursing mothers from indecency statutes and/or specifically forbidding stores, restaurants, etc. from hassling mothers attempting to nurse there.

Personally, I nursed three (quite active!) children, in public when that's where we were, and don't think I ever violated the most Puritan of indecency laws. And I rarely attracted much notice either.

Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.
