Maybe in your state, not in mine.
"I assert my right as manager/owner of this private establishment to deny service to anyone for any reason" and bam, the nursing mother doesn't have a leg to stand on; she must leave... as far as I know, no state has ever compelled any establishment to serve people when using that to expel them (or upheld the expelled person's 'right' to be on their private property).
You may be allowed to breast feed, legally, in PUBLIC, but in a restaurant you're in private property, where it is *not* your right to be there. You can be ejected at any time without a reason given (even if that reason is that you're breast feeding and refuse to do so elsewhere, if they eject you without using that as the reason, there's no legality issue).
Aravain, Im sorry but you are simply wrong regarding a breastfeeding woman in public does not include restaurants.
From Ohio Law
Sec. 3781.55. A mother is entitled to breast-feed her baby in any location of a place of public accommodation wherein the mother otherwise is permitted. "Place of public accommodation" has the same meaning as in section 4112.01 of the Revised Code.
http://law.justia.com/ohio/codes/orc/jd_411201-15d5.html
section 4112.01
Place of public accommodation" means any inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, public conveyance by air, land, or water, theater, store, other place for the sale of merchandise, or any other place of public accommodation or amusement of which the accommodations, advantages, facilities, or privileges are available to the public.
LaLeche league also has a section on various states and laws, altho they have been mentioned often here to no avail it seems http://www.llli.org/Law/LawBills.html
If you were belligerent enough to demand my removal from a restaurant, I would see you and the restaurant in court. Of course where I am from its a human right, so it wont happen.... just sayin.
Oh to be lactating again!!!

RE: Breastfeeding, taboo or not - 
Profile
they'd probably be horrified, but like I said, I needed the money. I grew up pretty poor (to give a gauge, my mother is making now, yearly, with a $10,000 a year paycut for my brother's schooling MORE than she and my dad brought in combined at any point before I started High School.. and is at the bottom of her pay-area and actually took a job that paid less to have less stress and more flexible hours. Dad is still working, too, and has similarly progressed. Shame we're still poor, though thanks mostly to school debts -.-) so we were imprinted with the idea "if they're paying for you, you do it; period." And I did. *shrug*
