But, making urinating and breast feeding analogous is not valid. There IS no analogy to be made there, trying it makes a poor attempt at a point.
I mean, if you put urinating and breast feeing in the same "natural function" catagory, I feel a strong sense of limited vision from you. I'd also have to disagree completely and totally. It's not even the same ballpark, not remotely.

They are analagous IF you argue that breastfeeding in public is ok because breastfeeding is a natural act. If you categorize breastfeeding as a natural act (don't worry kids, I know it is), then you must categorize urinating as a natural act (yes, I know that is too).
My point is that if you justify breastfeeding in public by saying "it's a natural act and therefore it's OK to do it in pubilc" then you are giving carte blanche approval to ALL natural acts performed in public. Urination, sex, nose picking, whatever.
If you wish to justify public breastfeeding, but at the same time avoid justifying public urination, then you have to more narrowly classify breastfeeding.
I'm not arguing against public breastfeeding, I'm pointing out that the arguments people have made in favor of it in this thread are too weak to survive a logical assault. Find better arguments.
