        I foresee a REALLY good debate on the acceptance of breastfeeding, on the horizon.

        There is no doubt in my mind that the "family values party" will block attempts to change this and will successfully use it at least one to pass horrific legislation.

        Even the British parliament allows its MPs to bring the youngest children when maternal care is required. Behind the times? More like the control is still in certain hands...

        MPs may bring children to the FLOOR of Parliament? I seriously doubt that. Please send me a source and link. Thanks.

        I watched some of the voting on http://parliament.tv  recently, and watched as a member of the Tory party carried her young child in and through the Division lobby and then back to the back benches.

        Bad link: sorry. Should be http://parliamentlive.tv . However, so you don't have to go through the archives for a month or so, here:https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/lib-dem-mp-makes-history-by-bringing-his-baby-into-commons-for-vote-9611522.html …

        He is, naturally, not the only one now: what a man from the Lib Dems can do, a woman from the Tory party can certainly emulate (and claim the Tories did it first).
