They are only enforcing that it should be allowed. They're not actually forcing women to breastfeed in public.

(Or forcing anyone to make an effort to observe the spectacle, for that matter.)

Now before you all go nuts at that, let me elaborate.

If done discreetly, I have no objections. I'm not offended by a woman's breast (quite the opposite actually ) but...."there's a time and a place" is my view.

Remember tolerance in a two-way street.....
As I said before, when baby wants food it ain't gonna wait for a better place. For them right here, right now is where it's at.

Now I happen to have been witness to rather a lot of breastfeeding over the years, and it's quite discreet, really - particularly with feeding bras and suitable choice of clothing.
Not really 'exposing' the breast.

Well, not quite as much as by opening some newspapers...
