What is a good attention getter for a persuasive speech about breastfeeding in public?
I’m doing two persuasive speeches on this topic, and the one I’m working on right now argues FOR a mother’s right to breastfeed in public and the next one will argue AGAINST. So please don’t waste your time if you’re just going to be turn this into a debate about breastfeeding in public. I just need a quote, fact, story, ANYTHING to help me get started! Thanks in advance!
I just want to say thanks for all the great answers so far! You’ve all been a huge help and you really got my ideas flowing! THANKS!
A special thanks to MelG- that website you gave me was awesome and one of the articles on there turned out to be a story from my local paper here in Lawrence (ljworld.com)! Thats really helpful when establishing relevancy of this topic because it has been an issue in our own community.
This is a great attention-getting quote to open with:
“If a multinational company developed a product that was a nutritionally balanced and delicious food, a wonder drug that both prevented and treated disease, cost almost nothing to produce and could be delivered in quantities controlled by the consumers’ needs, the very announcement of their find would send their shares rocketing to the top of the stock market. The scientists who developed the product would win prizes and the wealth and influence of everyone involved would increase dramatically. Women have been producing such a miraculous substance, breastmilk, since the beginning of human existence…”
– Gabrielle Palmer, in The Politics of Breastfeeding, London: Pandora Press, 1988, page 1.
