MAURY POVICH: But why mandatory breastfeeding?
BLOOMBERG: Because I think children should be breast-fed.
MAURY POVICH: Many women prefer other methods.
BLOOMBERG: New Yorkers are learning to understand that what they prefer is inconsequential to what I say they will do.
MAURY POVICH: You are pro-choice. You once said ‘reproductive choice is a fundamental human right.’
BLOOMBERG: What’s more important than the right to eradicate a burden you don’t want to deal with, Maury?
MAURY POVICH: But while advocating the right for women to choose abortion, in the same breath you negate their right to choose whether to breastfeed. You’ve unilaterally revoked their freedom to choose. Do you understand the distinction I’m trying to make?
BLOOMBERG: That women are incapable of making decisions without my guidance?
