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.

Because that's a public space where more than one sex is allowed to be.
I just don't agree that people should have control over the property of others - I don't believe we should get our way at the expense of the rights of others.
There's all sorts of other things that they require as well, but you don't hear people bitching about the typical no shoes, no shirt, no service policy. No shoes is arguably a sanitation thing, but no shirt has absolutely nothing to do with anything other than enforcing people's view that certain parts of the body ought to be covered.
They should be able to do whatever they want because they own the place, and if somebody wants something else then a competitor can provide it if anyone is willing.
