WOOOHOOO!

I just found out that this bill that I signed a petition for has become a LAW under Obama's health care reform package. It is in support and protection of working breastfeeding moms and among other things it requires that all businesses that employ at least 50 people provide reasonable break time and clean space (not a bathroom) for breastfeeding moms to pump!!!! It suggests that smaller businesses do the same but doesn't require them to if it causes undue hardship. Since I have some personal experience related to these issues this is an especially sweet moment for me. I feel like running out and shouting in the streets! Hurrah!
