Georgia Lactation Consultants Sue to Save Their Jobs

For nearly three decades, Mary Jackson has provided hands-on advice to help new mothers learn how to breastfeed. Despite her years of training and experience, on July 1st, she will be out of a job—but not because she has done anything wrong. Rather, on July 1st, a new Georgia law goes into effect requiring that anyone who makes a living helping new mothers breastfeed must obtain an expensive, burdensome and unnecessary certification from a private group, in order to get a license from the state.
