Lactation day: come one, come all!

Have a baby? Need to breast feed? If you're around The Cannon Terrace (or 441 Cannon if it’s raining), come join others to breast feed your baby/ies! Why? Well the event is intended to support Rep. Carolyn Maloney’s (D-N.Y.) “Breastfeeding Promotion Act.” If passed, this legislation would give tax incentives for businesses to develop "lactation areas" in the workplace.

Sounds nice and all, but I wonder how necessary this really is. I mean, how many people actually take their infants to work? Plus, aren't there lactation pumps for mothers to pump their own milk for storage?

Anyway, this event will probably be swarmed by gross, lonely men TRYING to sneak a peek. According to the Wonkette, men are supposed to leave at such times. Ha, we'll see if that works.
