Voluntary for now, but if it goes like the trans-fat (french fries in restaurants it won&#8217;t be voluntary if you don&#8217;t do it voluntarily \u2013 it will become mandatory in due time). Based on the two articles below, here is what I am suspecting. Steve Birn writes how he and his wife were intimidated by progressives about breast feeding and natural child birth (Item #2 of 2). Now we know that Obama and ObamaTAXcare is all about reducing the population (and getting out of giving medical care to anybody but themselves and their fat-cat buddies). So if a woman is forced into breast feeding, that would discourage some women not to bear a child. X those women off the reproductive group = less population. Second, Birn and his wife were intimidated about having a child, giving birth to that baby in a hospital. So if women are eventually forced into giving birth at home, without the comfort and safety of a hospital, more mothers and infants are subject to possibly dying \u2013 so viola, there goes that group of women into not adding to the population. Thirdly, if a woman who is giving birth at home now, with no drugs to kill the pain, imagine how few women are going to actually be willing to give birth to a live full-term baby. Great news for the pro-death, anti-live-birth, pro-aborts can now offer you a better alternative \u2013 kill the baby before you have to suffer a long, arduous labor at home with no pain dulling drugs. Kill the unborn. It&#8217;s a win-win-win trifecta for the Planned Predator Witches of We-Hate-Live-Births-Cause-We-Hate-Anything-Made-in-the-Image-of-God! \u2013 And they have accomplished it all looking good and clean as a pure snow-white lily.

What business is that of his and what lies behind this insane interest in breast feeding???\u00a0 Something is up and I don&#8217;t like the implications. This is just plain scary!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The latest from New York\u2019s commissioner of mental hygiene is that maternity wards in New York are going to start locking up their baby formula so as to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>force<\/strong><\/span> new mothers to breast feed their children. This scheme, according to the report in the New York Post, will start in 27 of the city\u2019s 40 hospitals September 3. It\u2019s part of the so-called \u201cLatch on NYC\u201d initiative the mental hygiene commissioner sprung on the city in May. The idea seems to be that New Yorkers elected the mayor to station the commissioner, Dr. Thos. Farley, between each newborn and his mother to make sure she doesn\u2019t use her own best judgment in making her choice of how to feed her baby. Of course, if her choice had been that she\u2019d wanted to abort the baby, the mayor would have hustled Dr. Farley out of the way faster than you could say Margaret Sanger.<\/p>\n<p>When leading clergymen \u2014 Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish \u2014 called a press conference a year and a half ago to raise <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nyc41percent.com\/\">an alarm that 41%<\/a> of the pregnancies in New York that weren\u2019t ended by miscarriages were ended by abortion, the mayor and the commissioner of mental hygiene were as quiet as a . . . well, tomb. But let some poor mother reach for the formula samples hospitals and manufacturers heretofore have made available, they go into a panic. So weird is the Latch on NYC program that, when it was announced in May, even the New York Times went after it. The Times issued a piece by Jennifer Zajfe called \u201cFormula, for Disaster.\u201d \u201cBottle-feeding versus breast-feeding is a personal choice, and the implication that distributing free formula samples promotes \u2018laziness\u2019 in new moms is ridiculous,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18681\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18681\" style=\"width: 233px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/244\/2012\/08\/Mom-and-Dad-feeding-newborn-with-bottle.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18681 \" title=\"Mom and Dad feeding newborn with bottle\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/244\/2012\/08\/Mom-and-Dad-feeding-newborn-with-bottle.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"233\" height=\"350\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18681\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Formula for baby. NO! NO! NO! Not allowed. Right now it&#8217;s voluntary, but like the transfat issue with restaurants in NY not being allowed to fry in oil that contained transfat, it started out voluntary, but Bloomberg quickly changed it to mandatory using his power of Big Brother over the restaurants. How soon before breast feeding becomes mandatory? And WHY?????<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Our purpose here is not to quibble one way or another with which is the healthier way to start a baby\u2019s nutrition. We\u2019re disinclined to think it\u2019s any of the government\u2019s business. But if it is the government\u2019s business, how in the world do these rules get made? The health and mental hygiene department says that the whole scheme is voluntary. That\u2019s what Dr. Farley\u2019s equally radical predecessor said when he tried to get restaurants to cook French fries in a lower quality oil without trans fats. When the restaurants tried to stick with the higher quality oils containing trans fats \u2014 they made better fries \u2014 he turned around and used the force of law to ban trans fats. This is clearly what is going to happen to the hapless hospitals if too many mothers decide the best thing is to exercise their right under Latch on NYC to demand formula.<\/p>\n<p>Our own view is that if the state is going to step into these kinds of intimate matters, New Yorkers deserve to have the rules made by the legislature, where they get a say in who makes the rules, can appear at hearings, and benefit from at least a degree of transparency. Not that either the City Council or the legislature in Albany has set any great standard. But what a situation the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has gotten itself into when its rule-making is seen as more high-handed, less transparent, more dictatorial \u2014 and more laughable \u2014 than anything Albany of the City Council has tried. Eventually, when the city is no longer overseen by a billionaire invested in the ideology of state control through public health, New Yorkers can hope for a chance at a return to reasonableness and leave the mothering to mothers.<\/p>\n<p>Read More: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nysun.com\/editorials\/mommy-bloomberg\/87919\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.nysun.com\/editorials\/mommy-bloomberg\/87919\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Item #2 of 2<\/p>\n<h1>Steve Birn Speaks&#8230;<\/h1>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/stevenbirnspeaks.com\/2012\/07\/30\/nanny-bloomberg-seeks-baby-formula-restrictions\/\">Nanny Bloomberg Seeks Baby Formula\u00a0Restrictions<\/a><\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>July 30, 2012 <a title=\"Comment on Nanny Bloomberg Seeks Baby Formula\u00a0Restrictions\" href=\"http:\/\/stevenbirnspeaks.com\/2012\/07\/30\/nanny-bloomberg-seeks-baby-formula-restrictions\/#comments\">16 Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever wanted to see progressives get outraged discuss child rearing with them. Yours truly had no idea progressives were so thin skinned\u00a0about children until my wife and I had our first kid. That\u2019s when we got bombarded by various progressives both inside and outside of the church. From radical evolutionist parenting called attachment parenting to natural child birth\u00a0and breast feeding, if my wife and I were ever looking for a fight or to be insulted and ridiculed we needed to do nothing more than oppose progressive child rearing, announce our intention to formula feed or have my wife declare an intention to have her babies in a hospital, with drugs or, gasp, even have a c-section. The wrath of progressive parents was sure to be felt for merely voicing an opposing view and sadly we\u00a0unwittingly lost friends in the church over it.<\/p>\n<p>With that history in mind, it surprised me not to see that Nanny Bloomberg wants to regulate <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nypost.com\/p\/news\/local\/mayor_knows_breast_WqU1iYRQvwbEkDuvn0vb1H\">baby formula<\/a>. Apparently New York\u2019s most powerful nanny wants hospitals to hide baby formula and brow beat women into breast feeding. So much for women choosing things for themselves. The anti-formula crusaders are to be found all over the place in the crunchy world of progressive parenting. These people love to whip out their breasts in public in order to shock and appall normal people going about their daily business. There\u2019s something about progressives that\u2019s off, they always seem in desperate need to shock people.<\/p>\n<p>Like with most things in life, what you choose to do with your kids is none of my business. If you want to breast feed or formula feed your baby, what\u2019s it to me? If you want to have a natural child birth or if you want drugs or a c-section, again what\u2019s it to me? That\u2019s not how these progressives view things though. They view it as their duty to \u201ceducate\u201d people who disagree with them and gain new converts, these people border on being a pushy religious sect. If I had a nickel for every time my wife was told about the evils of formula feeding (never prompted of course) or the evils of doctors and their c-sections we would be millionaires. They view disagreement as not only a personal attack but also an attack on the progressive agenda whereas non-progressives view disagreement as just disagreement.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day though, how you parent your kids is your business. If you want to do crazy things with them like sleep with them, breast feed them until they\u2019re 8 years old or allow a baby to dictate your every waking moment, that\u2019s your business. If I choose to put my kids on a schedule, formula feed them or if my wife chooses to have a c-section, what business is that of yours? If only it were that simple. The progressives believe they know how to run my life better than I do and as such they view it their duty to confront me on everything they consider \u201cbad\u201d about my parenting choices. If I won\u2019t listen, then they\u2019re more than willing to lobby government to write a law.<\/p>\n<p>The laws begin with Nanny Bloomberg outlawing baby formula. Next thing you know Obamacare\u00a0won\u2019t pay for C-sections. Next thing you know Child Protective Services will knock on the door of families who don\u2019t sleep together in the same bed. We conservatives will scratch our head the entire time and wonder what\u2019s going on. Our mistake is that we have no idea what the progressives are up, we have no idea how far their tentacles reach not just in government but in philosophy. We\u2019ve written off progressives as being anti-child because they\u2019re pro-abortion. In reality, they have a very clear agenda that extends to parenting. So far reaching is their agenda that it has infected what would otherwise be conservative churches.<\/p>\n<p>Next time Nanny Bloomberg comes out with another absurd regulation or demand, keep in mind he\u2019s following the progressive agenda to the letter. Nothing he does should surprise us, even when he wants to severely regulate baby formula. Anyone who is surprised by Bloomberg\u2019s attacks on need only check out the agenda at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mothering.com\/\">Mothering Magazine <\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gentlechristianmothers.com\/\">Gentle Christian Mothers<\/a>. If these people want to do weird parenting things with their kids, that\u2019s their business. But the problem is they want to not only confront the rest of us and attack our methods but they\u2019re willing to demand government pass laws to further their agenda. Thus, Nanny Bloomberg is in lock step with the progressive mothers. We conservatives need to do a better job of understanding these people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>URL: <a href=\"http:\/\/stevenbirnspeaks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/stevenbirnspeaks.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #7e0021;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>Links to other related Watchwoman articles on radical breast-feeding<\/strong><br \/>\n<em><strong>(If links do not work, copy and paste into your browser)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>Bloomberg dictating what your baby can and cannot be fed<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/watchwomanonthewall\/?p=18678\">http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/watchwomanonthewall\/?p=18678<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>Woman Behind Controversial Military Breastfeeding Photo is Fired from Her Civilian Job (For Other Reasons)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/watchwomanonthewall\/?p=16539\">http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/watchwomanonthewall\/?p=16539<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>Breastfeeding in Uniform, Moms Disgrace the U.S. Military<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/watchwomanonthewall\/?p=15649\">http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/watchwomanonthewall\/?p=15649<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>Time cover &#8211;

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
