Breast Feed or Else

The US government is pioneering a new form of sexual harassment: forcing women to breast feed their babies. Under the guise of public health. And they are spending tax dollars on a big ad campaign.

It's an in-your-face approach showing pregnant women in dangerous situations, suggesting that not to breastfeed is to put your baby at risk.

Women are ticketed for breast feeding, so will they be ticketed for not doing so? A Washington Post blog raises this and other ironies. Breast feeding also gets in the way of having a career.

The latest government figures show more than 70 percent of moms try breastfeeding when their babies are born, but that six months later, only 36 percent are still breastfeeding. One reason, doctors say, is that more than 60 percent of mothers go back to work.
