It is customary to qualify statements as sweeping as "it is wrong" or "it is right and just", not only because of the implicit possibility that you might be wrong, but because most of us would feel uncomfortable heralding ourselves as the arbiters of right and wrong. It is apparent that you feel no such discomfort. In our society, it is rude to invade someone's personal space A non-issue. Breastfeeding as it is normally conducted is not invasive of anyone's space. Nobody has to look, and nobody, according to most conservatives I know, - has the right not to be offended. If it is conducted abnormally and with intent to invade, it can easily be restricted under general codes against creating disturbance. Again, I think it fairly obvious - though I wouldn't go so far as to claim it "right" - that pregnant women and nursing mothers are deserving of special treatment and accommodation. Given this principle and the non-applicability of the problem of intrusion, I would think the issue sufficiently two-sided to make a declaration of wrongness a bit out of place.
