I am saying it is a non-issue because once again wingnuts like Backmann are harping on a minor part of a larger issue. The issue in Obama's initiative is not to force women to breastfeed but to remove impediments to a woman who wants to breastfeed her child but cant. I said it is a non-issue because a woman will not make her decision based on a $50 breastpump
The REAL issue is that women decide not to breastfeed because it interferes with their ability to work. Either their employers refuse to allow them time to pump or there is no appropriate area where she can pump and store her milk
Yes and no. The issue being "breastfeeding" is a sly cover for intervention into private business.
But the pump is a red herring.... Michelle Obama Pushes Breast Feeding, Employers Need to Act....And the law is on her side. A provision of the new health care law requires employers with more than 50 employees to provide reasonable break time for an employee to nurse and provide a place, other than a bathroom to do the nursing.
