If that is so, why? isn't the most natural and best way to feed a baby

Not that I know of.
In many states, breastfeeding is a protected right. But, ignorant people still make mistakes and women get kicked out of establishments all the time.

There's no way to "indecently" breastfeed. I don't care if there's nothing showing or if the whole breast is showing - there's nothing wrong with it!

no that's not true at all, breast are made to feed your child. there's a lot of babies out there that would not take a bottle and the only thing you can do is breast feed. if you can't do that in public then you have to be stuck at home until the baby is 1 yr., now that is jail time. i breast feed in public, i usually ask people around me if their ok with me feeding my baby around them. if they don't, then i go else where but i never have a problem with anyone yet.

I don't think it's true, unless she's being indecent and immodest about it, flopping her boobs out. If she just discreetly has the baby to her breast, there is no law against that. I think it's ridiculous anyway. Breasts are there for feeding babies, not for people to oogle. I don't think there's anything indecent about the act, only the fact that certain people have negative feelings toward a woman nuturing her child in a natural and healthy way.

Public breastfeeding is not protected in all localities, and I have heard of women being arrested (whether those were wrongful arrests is a different matter).
Quote from linked source:
Apparently about 12,000 women per year (Per YEAR!!! On average!) get arrested for breastfeeding in public in the United States.

TOTALLY NOT TRUE!!
In fact, many places have laws protecting a woman's right to breastfeed in public.
Women cannot be placed in jail for breastfeeding in public.

Not at all! Well, is surely is not nice exposing your breasts when breastfeeding.
I do breastfeed in public...discreetly. I use the breast shield or a piece of cloth/blanket when i breastfeed in public. When you do that, no one would even notice that you're feeding your baby!

Not true.
Breastfeeding in public is legal in all states
Many states have laws to protect a mother's right to nurse in public.
