The Boston Herald reports that Bay State regulators are taking food out of the mouths of infants:
Beginning soon, hospitals will no longer be allowed to give free infant formula to mothers taking new babies home. Regulators want to promote breast-feeding, even if it means making Massachusetts the first state to ban the popular freebie.
Every time anyone proposes some modest restriction on abortion, outraged feminists shriek that women are perfectly capable of making up their own minds and it's an insult to suggest otherwise. But if women get to decide whether their children live or die, why can't they be trusted to decide what to feed them?

Free formula is a privilege that is not guaranteed. I have no problem with that. However, I have a HUGE problem if they're seriously saying that they're doing it to promote breastfeeding! Oodles of women can't produce enough milk or can't get their babies to latch properly. I'd rather not have babies starve just to promote breastfeeding. Ridiculous.
I also recently heard that Georgia is banning public breastfeeding. I CANNOT believe that ANY southern state would do such a thing. This country is sick. We are so disturbed that we can't separate sex from anything else and we would put new mothers at a disadvantage....
It's too much for me.
