Ok I know this will start drama but that isn't the reason I'm writing it.

So the prochoice argument is that "it's my body so it's my choice" right? So why doesn't the same argument apply to breast feeding? I formula Feed my daughter and everyone judges me for it. I have my reasons and so many people think they have the right to tell me what to do with MY tits! I grew them I get to decide what to do with them. I had a prochoice person yell at me for it! I don't like double standards. If they can choose what they want to do with their womb then I can choose what to do with my boobs.

Why do people really care what you decide? It's your body and your child. I wasn't comfortable bf my 3 boys and didn't really care what people thought. But I also didn't get any criticism for it. That's messed up that people get so involved in your business.

People are busy bodies.. screw em you do what you want. Some people spend way too much time telling other what they should or shouldn't do.

So, you think you do NOT have a right to tell a woman if she can abort or not, but you do have the right to tell a woman she should breast feed?

i consider myself pro-choice, and i BF my son till he was 15 months.  my definition of "pro-choice" is not specific to my views on any one subject.  i just think that when you start giving other people the right to control your personal choices, it's a dangerous, slippery slope.  one concession turns into many.  as much as i might not do what someone else might do, i'll fight for your right to do it.  that being said, i agree with you.  it doesn't bother me if someone FF their baby, when there are more pressing matters... like people who abuse or neglect their children.

 I really don't see the comparison in having the choice to murder your baby versus how you feed it..... so other way around. I think you do NOT have the right to tell a woman how to nourish her baby, but I do believe a woman should not have a right to choose whether or not another human being gets a chance at life or not.
