It seems hard to believe in 2013, but it's true -- Michigan is one of only five states without a law protecting breastfeeding moms, allowing them to breastfeed their babies in any public or private location.

But that might change soon.

Joining me is a lawmaker who has been working on the bill, State Senator Rebekah Warren.
