Default NSBR Breastfeeding Debate...

So I was surfing the web (which I often do instead of my job-LOL) and found this article on a "Nurse-In" rally at McDonald's. http://www.kpho.com/news/24727460/de...tml?source=pho

So my questions are this:
1. Do you or would you breastfeed in public?
2. If so, have you or would you cover yourself or leave it all hanging out?
3. Do you feel that a business or any other establishment has the right to ask a woman to leave based on breastfeeding her child?

Personally I don't feel a business or any other public place should ask a mother to leave the premises just for nursing her infant. However, I do think that it is good common courtesy to use a blanket to cover yourself to prevent anything from "falling out". I also love these companies that offer Mother's Rooms or Nursing Rooms; my job has one with a built in pump mechanism and comfy chair; so all you need to bring are the attachments for the pump. I personally did not do this b/c my daughter just did not take to breastfeeding so I haven't had the experience.

What are you thoughts?
