Why the Backlash on Bloomberg’s Breastfeeding Initiative?
By KJ DELL'ANTONIA
excerpt:
The chorus of protest against the implementation of “Latch On NYC” comes from a fear that hospitals, in a well-intentioned effort to promote breastfeeding, will also feel the need to standardize it — to create one-size-fits-all policies that are easy to track and enforce at the expense of something that has never been easily brought into line. At the hands of a zealous employee at 3 a.m. — or simply an inexperienced staffer fearful of reprisals for stepping out of line — what’s meant as a nudge may feel like a bludgeon. It’s not unreasonable to fear that along with the formula, even the most well-intentioned hospital may inadvertently lock up common sense.

What is a twatwaffle?
Is it related to a mittens and can you order one at Bob Evans?

In 14:58, Twat Lover states, "Actually I think the rationale is what's best for society as a whole so the bottle fed babies don't get fat and tax our health resources." Then Twat Lover says s/he is on my side by posting, "Simmer down, twatwaffle. I'm on your side. I was just explaining the policy rationale. I didn't say I agree with it."
So Twat Lover contradicts him/herself yet calls ME the idiot. Furthermore, Twat Lover thinks that bottle fed babies get fat.
Yes, I am indeed the idiot.

Sorry, he's yours. He got 80% of the Republican vote. I think that says it all. Sorry if he doesn't meet with your personal litmus tests, but in NYC he is Republican.
