Nurse-In
You know what I think? I think God has removed his hand of protection from Target because, unlike Wal-Mart, Target does not offer copies of the 1611 King James Bible for just $4.99.
I'll be spending a LOT of time at my local Target monitoring for this sort of activity, and you may rest assured I'll be bringing my Bible with me. Should I encounter any of these strumpets, I will whip it out!
Whip out my Bible, that is. I will whip it out, and start reading to them. I think I'll start with these beautiful and inspiring verses:
A nursing mother's upsetting experience at her local Target last month has led to what appear to be "nurse-in" demonstrations at Target stores nationwide.
Mothers from across the country have posted pictures of themselves nursing at Target stores - from Maryland to Minnesota - to a Facebook page used to organize the event. (A Target spokeswoman has confirmed that nursing mothers showed up at Target stores today but said the chain was still gathering information on the scale of the demonstrations.)
"I never knew that sitting in a Target and doing what's normal - which is feeding my baby - would result in all of this one day but I'm glad it did, " Michelle Hickman, the woman who inspired the event, told ABCNews.com.
Last month at a Webster, Texas Target store, Hickman began nursing her fussy, hungry infant son in the store's women's clothing section. Hickman, 35, said that eight Target employees eventually surrounded her and two asked her to move to a fitting room to finish nursing. The other employees, she said, rolled their eyes at her and gave her dirty looks.
Hickman said she tried explaining that Texas law allowed her to breastfeed in public, but the employees wouldn't listen. Hickman said she later called Target's corporate offices but was disatisfied with their response. She said the retailer has yet to apologize to her directly.

In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

1 Corinthians 12:23
And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
