In 2013, 81.1 percent of U.S. mothers said they started out breast-feeding their baby. That's up from 75 percent in 2008, and 70 percent in 2000, according to the CDC.
[...] 52 percent of U.S. mothers said they were still breast-feeding their infants when the babies were 6 months old, and 30 percent said they were still breast-feeding when the babies reached 1 year.
How should society handle breastfeeding in public and the workplace? Should there be any restrictions on the age of the child?
Breastfeeding has obvious benefits for a child's development, but breast milk is also a fluid of the body that can carry disease.

So you would have no problem if we were on a bus together and I pulled my pants down and defecated into another persons mouth right next to you? I’m just transplanting my useful gut bacteria into someone else.
Sure I have the freedom to do such things, but there is a certain level of decency which should be presented while in public. A public display of lactating, ejaculating, defecating, or urinating on someone else isn’t and shouldn’t be acceptable behavior.
Because you are also entitled to public space, and it shouldn’t be a degrading experience.

Your post says a lot about you. And, it fails to address the issue of breast feeding.
