Privacy is a right and without
it people can feel a sense of being
uncomfortable in an environment
where they should feel most at
home.
On Jan. 18, a Portland man
was arrested for burglary in the
second degree and invasion of
privacy. This man, 44-year-old
Kent Gordon, hid a digital video
recordef pen in a cup among
other writing utensils in a female
co-worker’s office to record her
while she was using her breast
pump. Gordon was caught when
the victim noticed the recorder
and turned it in to her supervisors
who then contacted the police.
Although Gordon was arrested on
Jan. 18, the camera was discov
ered on Jan. 14. He was fired the
next day.
Ariane Rakich, advising spe
cialist for CCC, saw the scan
dal on the news and said it was
“thought provoking as a topic in
society.”
Breastfeeding has turned into
a fear for many mothers. A sur
vey done by Gina Cicatelli, who
works for the Huffington Post,
revealed that the biggest fear that
mothers who breast feed have
in America is nursing in public.
Forty percent of American moms
said they fear nursing in public.
This is higher than the 28 percent
who said they were scared about

Wendy Imel, a mother of two
who works for CCC as an assess
ment service project specialist is
pro-breastfeeding.
“1 feel that a mom should be
able to breastfeed her child any
where that she is,” said Imel.
“I’m definitely for that, how
ever, something like that being
videoed, doing anything personal
is really wrong.”
Working moms can’t stay with
their newborns all day when they
go back to work, so they resort to
other ways to continue breastfeed
ing. Using a breast pump is very
common, especially for moms
who are working because it means
they don’t have to use formula for
their babies.
Freshman Carla Vasquez
believes that breastfeeding is good
for babies, but the mothers could
also be a little more discreet about
breastfeeding in public.
“It can be disturbing to people,
but it is also natural for females.
They could also be exposed to
perverts,” said Vasquez.
Laws about breastfeeding vary
from state to state, but in Oregon,
as of 2007, the law allows women
to have unpaid 30-minute breaks
during each four-hour shift to
breastfeed or pump, allowing cer
tain exemptions for employers.
“Be discreet about pumping at
work,” said Vasquez. “Talk to a
boss or manager so you can get it

Imel and Rakich, have used breast

about it.
“I breastfeed my son, but he’s
not here at work with me so I
pump milk at work for him while
I’m gone,” said Imel.
Rakich agreed about her
breastfeeding techniques; her son
is now one year old.
“I think everybody has differ
ent personal preferences. For me
it was always nice to have a little
bit more private setting if possible,
but when it came down to it, if my
son was hungry then I definitely
was open to breastfeeding in pub
lic. I definitely just for my comfort
level and for other people I have a
privacy cover, which they make
very cute these days and kind
of makes it more convenient for
everybody.”
Rakich, as well as finel, use a
breast pump at work since neither
is able to bring their children with
them.
Most mothers who work and
choose to breastfeed do not have
the option to bring their child to
work, so breast pumping may be
their only option. Even though not
everyone is comfortable with it,
there are many options in keeping
it private and making it as discreet
as possible.
