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.

Ok how about this - The infant is eating. They are getting the milk that they are designed to digest. No formula can completely duplicate the antibiotic properties of breastmilk (Though formula's are getting better all the time.) SO Breastfeeding is as normal and natural are YOU EATING. Either you go eat in the bathroom or don't ask an infant to do so as well. That's where you need to be consistent.
There is no NEED for breasts in the practice of procreation. There is a need for breasts as far as nuturing. Though - don't get me wrong they can be quite a nice addition to sex but so can nibbling on the ears and other hot spots but you don't cover the ears do you??
