Lactivists:

Terrorist or Freedom Fighter?
There is a law that has gotten three days worth of news coverage here in Georgia.  Is it immigration reform?  No.  Some kind of spending reform?  Nope.  Is it a law restricting mothers from breastfeeding in public if their child is over two years old?  Oh, yes, yes it is.

Yup, that's what a Lactivist is.  Someone fighting the good fight of lactation.  And here's what those freedom fighters did today,

Nearly 200 breastfeeding women and supporters took part in a nurse-in Monday morning in Forest Park. The so-called "lactivists" are upset over a new law in the Clayton County community limiting public breastfeeding.

My one question is this.  Do most women breastfeed after two?  A three year old is usually on to food you can chew, right?  I mean, you hear about people that breastfed until they were like 17 or something, but do most women keep it up past three?

Read the article and give me your opinion.  Here!

P.S. Googling "breastfeeding" for an image you can use, even with the filter set to strict will give you a picture of a boob.  Apparently, google doesn't think it's a crime...
