GOP Lawmaker Calls Breastfeeding ‘Smart and Sexy’

A Republican legislator in the Alaska state House apologized for touting the benefits of breastfeeding by calling it “smart and sexy,” the Huffington Post reports.

Said state Rep. Shelley Hughes (R): “My intent was to draw attention to this incredibly important issue. Unfortunately, this is not the kind of attention I hoped to receive. I take full responsibility for the headline. I apologize for the poor choice of words, and am sorry if I offended anyone.”
