I can't it anymore than those people can. However, as has been pointed out in numerous threads here and in numerous government classes, the bill of rights is not a limiting document for rights of individuals, it's a limiting document for the government. Ergo, I do have the right I speak of. Ah well then, if that's the case, then I to have a right not to be subjected to ignorant wankers and their stupid arsed ideas. So we'll not be hearing from you again then shall we? Hmmm... lets see,,, A United States House of Representatives appropriations bill (HR 2490) with an amendment specifically permitting breastfeeding[29] was signed into law on September 29, 1999. It stipulated that no government funds may be used to enforce any prohibition on women breastfeeding their children in Federal buildings or on Federal property. Further, a U.S. Public Law[30] enacted in 1999, specifically provides that "a woman may breastfeed her child at any location in a Federal building or on Federal property, if the woman and her child are otherwise authorized to be present at the location." So, that takes care of the Federal Law. Which means the notion that someone has the right NOT to be subjected in public is false. Twenty-eight states, the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands exempt breastfeeding from public indecency laws. (Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.) Michigan Mich. Comp. Laws § 41.181, § 67.1aa and § 117.4i et seq. (1994) state that public nudity laws do not apply to a woman breastfeeding a child. http://www.ncsl.org/IssuesResearch/Health/BreastfeedingLaws/tabid/14389/Default.aspx And there goes the notion that "whipping out" a woman's breast is no different than a man "whipping out" his cock.
