1. I find the judge's decision reprehensible

Frankly, it makes me appreciate that where I work there's special lactation rooms for mothers.

I remember I had a class with a woman that worked for WIC. She told us how Walmart discouraged and made it impossible for breast feeding mothers to continue to do so. 15 min breaks, had to keep your pump in the back of the building (the other end from the bathrooms), etc.

My mom told me how back in the 70s she was looking for a job. She had just become pregnant, so wasn't showing and had to lie so she'd be hired. She told everyone my brother (full term) came early.
