Terry Mattingly looks at coverage of the death of Edwina Froehlich, one of the founders of the La Leche League:

How controversial was this? The story notes that mainstream newspapers would not run articles that contained the word “breast,” so the group used “leche” — Spanish for “milk” — in its name to veer around the facts of the matter.

In the truest sense of the word, these women were rebels.
So why did they do it? There were reasons linked to events in her family and it is also clear that Froehlich and her co-conspirators believed that what they were teaching was good for women and their children.
But there is one other factor that the story barely mentions.
Mrs. Froehlich was born Edwina Hearn in the Bronx and came to Chicago to attend Mundelein College. A devout Catholic, she worked with the Catholic Family Movement and was national executive director for the Young Christian Workers before marrying John Froehlich in 1948.
Do you think this Catholic activism had anything to do with her then radical beliefs about parenting and, well, what might be called “natural law”? Perhaps.
Millions of people have been affected by this movement. That’s a story and lots of newspapers missed it. Totally.

And Matthew Archbold notes a fact-finding mission:

With the demographics of Europe in free fall, some social experts and scientists from Europe traveled to America last week on a fact finding mission to discover why America’s population was stable and even increasing. The scientists were shocked to see that America was filled with tiny people wearing diapers and speaking no discernible language.
