Has anybody heard about this legislation that New York is trying to pass making it illegal for women who have just given birth to feed formula or recieve formula from the hospital for their baby? I was just wondering what everyone thinks about this.
Does the government have the right to decide what we should do with our bodies? I mean, with the abortion legislation that they passed, i feel they were stepping over the line. I mean, the last time the government interfered with personal relations and choice about this sort of stuff, was in Roe vs Wade...which said that a woman has the right to take birth control.
Are we going backwards in terms of women's rights? If you have health complications and can't breast-feed, or don't have enough money to buy yourself nutritous food (like the lower-class who this legislation would affect the most) then wouldn't formula be the best choice for your family?
