Bumper sticker - Page 3

post #41 of 67

So this is the scary thing about that bumper sticker.

I did a bit of googling and couldn't for the life of me find any anti-breastfeeding or anti-nip groups or merchandise.... (there must be some somewhere though)
I even scrolled through page after page of extremist right-wing propaganda bumper stickers and couldn't find anything....

Sooooo... that guy most probably custom-made that bumper sticker........

Can anyone say issues?

I don't want to stir up trouble but most "extremist right-wing" people I know breastfed their kids and would be extremely pro-bf, not anti. Just had to comment, because I was in a Christian homeschool group here a few years ago and most of them had lots of kids that they NIP and extended bf also.

But I agree that this guy has huge issues.

That is so rude! You should have sharpied that part of the bumper sticker.

You know, babies and toddlers urinate in public all the time (in their diaper), so I don't see the point of a bumper sticker that discourages breastfeeding and compares it to urinating.

Any googled to see what company is making the bumper stickers? Its time to write a letter and let them know how bad their product is.

I am having a really hard time imagining all of that on a bumper sticker.

Sorry I didn't want to generalize but to be honest, most of the anti-nip commentary I have encountered in the media has come from extremist right-wing sources (Bill Maher not included)
Also to OP said the car was covered in 'political' messages
Also christian does not = extremist right wing

Even better have your son pee on his bumper sticker. If he sees you and says anything just say "It's only natural."

In the mall here, they have breastfeeding place IN THE RESTROOM! There is an area with a chair right next to the stalls. I didn't know what that room was for until I finally asked a lady cleaning up in there.

Geez! It's not like mothers are making a sport of squirting breastmilk all over the room. I could see how that would be offensive. Feeding a baby? That's not!

yes fortunately there are a lot of christians out there who actually follow the nice part of the bible - the new testament. the really crazy judgmental christians out there are the ones preaching from the old testament which is a vengeful nasty book. jesus ftw!!

Hm. The miniature horse at the zoo was nursing her baby in public. If she can do it, why can't I?

OTOH, she also pees in public. Nevermind.

They are actually not the same. But, that's a topic for another forum.

Actually I have never seen the car before or since then. We live in a college town and so we have over 100,000 students around town.

S/He also had the "coexisist" bumper sticker with the world relgion logos, and bumper sticker about looking food in the eye before eating it (vegan?) The whole back end of his car was nothin but stickers, those were the ones I remembered. I have seen some of them before, but this one took the cake. If I see it again, I will put the bumber sticker I have extras of on over it, "reduce your risk breastfeed" it has the breast cancer awarness symboll thingy on it.
