Mothers returned to Dallas-Fort Worth Airport this morning for a repeat rally, both to support nursing mother Emily Gillette and to seek an apology for how the Texas mothers were treated at the initial rally.
This time the rally went off without a hitch. While the original rally consisted of five mothers and nine children, the second rally included 27 adults and 28 children–that will teach the airport security a lesson for sending them away the first time! Those ladies came back with a vengeance, albeit a polite and peaceful vengeance.
Only one other nurse-in out of the 40 total nationwide ran into trouble. The Queens Courier featured an article yesterday about how mothers were turned away from JFK airport.
Finally, if you’re not tired of reading about the controversy, there’s a very favorable web-exclusive article in Newsweek.
