Over at Muckraking Mom, I wrote this post reacting to today's New York Times report on how there is a two-class system for working women who wish to continue to breastfeed their babies. Professional women tend to find sympathetic employers, while those working in lower-paid positions don't. The great majority of states do not have laws requiring employers to make it easier for their employees to breastfeed. And while Rep. Carol Maloney has a bill to provide breastfeeding women protection under the Civil Rights Act, as well as providing employers a business tax credit for breast pumps, the legislation is languishing in committee.  Maloney told the Times that she “can’t understand why this doesn’t move. This is pro-family, pro-health, pro-economy.”  It’s not that big a mystery. The business community often opposes this type of legislation. And of course it’s the business community that’s the biggest source of the campaign contributions lawmakers need to win their political campaigns.
