"Unfortunately, mothers (more specifically, low-income mothers who cannot afford formula and bottles) often bear the brunt of this debate."
This statement is ignorant. Breastfeeding is significantly more prevalent among higher socioeconomic classes. According to the U.S. Government's Healthy People 2010 report 78% of college educated women initiate breastfeeding while only 48% of those without a high school diploma do.
