60 Breastfeeding Moms Protest in Vancouver

About 60 breastfeeding moms took over a Vancouver clothing store to protest the fact that a woman was told that feeding her child was "illegal".
Many mothers said it was shocking that companies can put up ads portraying near-naked women yet moms are villified for breast-feeding in public. "You kind of have to wonder what's going on in our culture when a company can put up a billboard with a teenager scantily clad but a mother feeding her baby is offending someone," said Mel Carson, who was feeding her six-month-old son Carson Lee. "I can't wrap my head around that."
