[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another pro-BF mom here who thinks OP was way out of line and is using the issue of breastfeeding to deflect attention away from her bad behavior. Boooooo hissssssss, OP. [/quote] So the DC Council meant to pass a law saying that it is legal to bf in public only if you're continually polite? The guards didn't call the op out on rudeness or loitering. They called her out on feeding her baby.[/quote] Again, those are not the facts of the situation. The guards called her out for sitting on the floor of the hallway. No one shouted down a hall "hey, cover up that boob down there! that's indecent exposure!" [/quote] Did you read the original post, on p. 1 of this thread? Or even the title of the thread?[/quote] Indeed I did. I offered one of the first dispassionate analyses of the OP's story. The sequence seemed to be guards from down the hall told her to get up off the floor. She said she would but failed to comply. Then when was instructed to a third time, got up and made a fuss about the fact that she as breastfeeding. Then she started calling lawyers. The incident was about floor-sitting, not breastfeeding, and wasn't about breastfeeding until the OP started making a stink about it. She says the guards accused her of indecent exposure. Which, *if it is true* is unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that she should not have a right to be breastfeeding on the floor of a hallway. I reiterate: did not have the *right* to do that, for all the breastfeeding law says is a mom has a right to bf anywhere she has a right to be *with her child.* Since she didn't have a right to be sitting in the hall in the first place, the bf law doesn't apply. Full stop, end of story, stop debating this nonsense now.[/quote]
