The breast-feeding group believed breast-feeding is better for the baby, helps with infant bonding, and protects the infant from disease. The breast-feeding group was also more likely to want their partner to breast-feed and to have respect for breast-feeding women.

The majority of both groups agreed breast-feeding was not acceptable in public.

Because formula has a distinct odor and color to it, it is known to stain clothes and also leave everything that isn’t washed right away with a fowl odor, unlike breast milk ,which is odorless and virtually almost clear in color. As a result of all the downsides to formula I would hope more woman in the world opt to choose breastfeeding rather then formula. Breastfeeding was obviously the natural way of feeding a baby in the beginning of time for a reason and just because something new has come out on the market should not make it so that woman turn a blind eye to the fact they were given a gift.

Everybody different so no one can say what is culturally appropriate the person who making the intervention just have to make sure one come across as a fair person and is looking out for every one’s best interest.

Eloisa Morales English 1301 March 22, 2011 Pros and Cons on Breastfeeding We have all heard “breast milk” is best, however as our society changes and as time constraints mothers go for convenience verses what is best. Within the past century more women have left the home and gone back to work, making breastfeeding less common. The need to reeducate and encourage women to breastfeed is imperative, but the choice is still ultimately the mothers. Breastfeeding has many pluses, the bond created between mother and baby is very special. Breastfeeding brings so many benefits such as it contains antibodies that decrease infant’s risk of infections, diarrhea, allergies, asthma, SIDS, diabetes and certain cancers.
Lorde did talk about the process she had to endure on a personal level that took her on a journey of denial through acceptance. Her feeling that she wanted nothing more than to go back to the time where she still had both breast to totally accepting herself--- the new her. As she examined what was most likely the depths of her soul she returned feeling more whole as a person, although society did not feel the same way. All women, those who have and those of us who someday may face the diagnosis of breast cancer will naturally go through the same process that Lorde herself did. What I hope for all of us who do is that each would find strength, comfort and hope in the writings of this journal.
Women who take this pill guard from a surgical abortion which is much more uncomfortable. Statistics tell us that “between the years of 1994 and 1995 96% of the women who took the pill would recommend it to others; 91% would choose to use it again; 88% found it effective and satisfactory” (Meier 1). Women are prone to feel much more personal safety due to it being less invasive than the surgical procedure. Women who choose to take this pill can avoid trauma and anti-abortion protestors for the matter because it can be done by their own private physician where it is legal. Being free of emotional and physical invasion has made easier for women to want to take it again even after failing the first time (fraser
They don’t think a woman can be denied care because of her financial status. They think that public funding for family planning is critical. The Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act would shut doors to Title X clinics when they are very important.

President Obama has prioritized the program.

In addition, I would choose to have an epidural during delivery. Some people view the pain during childbirth, as a part of “the bonding experience”. I view the pain as “unnecessary.” If you are a woman would you want your partner present? I would definitely want my partner present during child birth. A partner’s role during the child birthing process is very important, to ensure the woman feels emotionally supported.
