NURSING MOTHERS TO BREASTFEED ON CAPITOL HILL

Rep. Maloney Hosts PRE-MOTHER'S DAY NURSE-IN
To Promote Right to Breastfeed

WASHINGTON - Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) will host a Capitol
Hill "nurse-in" on Thursday, May 10, 2007 to reintroduce her
Breastfeeding Promotion Act, a bill that would protect the rights of
breastfeeding mothers who return to the workplace after childbirth,
and the health and well-being of their children.

The Breastfeeding Promotion Act:
. amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to protect breastfeeding by
new mothers
. provides tax incentives for businesses that establish private,
lactation areas in the workplace
. provides for a performance standard for breast pumps
. allows breastfeeding equipment to be tax deductible for families

Currently, 38 states and Puerto Rico have laws on their books
protecting the rights of women to breastfeed. The Breastfeeding
Promotion Act would move beyond the patchwork of state laws and
establish a national protection for breastfeeding mothers.
