MALONEY AND ROYBAL-ALLARD’S AMENDMENTS SET THE FEDERAL STANDARD THAT BREASTFEEDING IS WELCOME ON FEDERAL PROPERTY. UNTIL NOW, WOMEN HAVE BEEN KICKED OUT OF FEDERAL PARKS, NATIONAL MUSEUMS, AND FEDERAL BUILDINGS JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE BREASTFEEDING A HUNGRY CHILD. IN THESE INSTANCES WOMEN HAVE HAD NO RECOURSE. NOW, THEY DO.
