Senate subcommittee passes breast-feeding bill: "(Columbia-AP) March 22, 2006 - A Senate subcommittee approved a bill Wednesday to allow mothers to breast-feed their children without fear of humiliation.
The House has already approved the measure.
Advocates hope the bill will encourage mothers to breast-feed, rather than bottle-feed, their children. They testified about the health benefits of breast-feeding to both the mother and child.
Mary Beth Mullaney says women often go to a hot car in 90-degree weather or sit in a dirty public restroom to breast-feed because they fear being asked to leave.
The bill was written after a clerk at a Victoria's Secret store in Mount Pleasant last year suggested that a woman go to a bathroom to nurse her child."
How crazy is that? Been in a Victoria's Secret store lately?
